FormscanBy Michael Graham - SHE TOPS THE LOT is a major player. She was gambled on in Roscommon but couldn't get to grips with the winner who made all, and had to settle for second. Significantly, the horse more than 20 lengths behind her in fourth came out and won a maiden hurdle at this racecourse on Saturday. She Tops The Lot is very lightly raced so there should be plenty more in her locker. Champagne Diva is dangerous. She chased home the favourite in a mares' maiden hurdle in Kilbeggan at the end of June, which is solid form in the context of this race. Better ground and cheekpieces brought about an improved show from the five-year-old mare. Trevena looks best of the rest.
