PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
TWOPLUSTWO EQUALS may have reserved all of her best outings over hurdles for Good ground, but she showed that she is just adept on softer underfoot conditions when finishing second at Dromahane in December, and she could gain a deserved success in this. Glenmalure Flyer will also be in receipt of the mares allowance, and she only went down by a neck at Comea last week, with Rongoright missing out by a similarly tight margin in Ballyvodock. The Happy Huntsman is another to consider.
