FormscanBy Mark Nunan - TREES VALLEY had a good spell of form over hurdles last summer with three wins and may be able to put her chasing experience to good use. This will be a seventh start over racecourse fences for Liam Burke’s point-to-point winner who should be suited by stepping back up in trip after finishing a fair third over 2m1f at Tipperary last time. Twilight Girl, placed at Downpatrick on her penultimate start, holds the same rating as the selection and has the advantage of handicap experience as well. The Sliding Rock was the best of these over hurdles and her second to subsequent Grade One winner Skyace at Punchestown in December is a standout piece of form. If taking to fences she’ll clearly be hard to beat while That’s Lifebuoy, a half-sister to useful chaser Mighty Stowaway, is another chasing first-timer to note. Icee M B A was a good third on her chasing bow at Limerick and would have claims if building on that.
