FormscanBy Mark Nunan - GYPSY ISLAND is in a different league to these rivals and can’t be opposed despite a two year lay-off. Peter Fahey’s daughter of Jeremy was unbeaten in four bumpers in the 2018/19 season including victories at Listed and Grade Three level. She has hurdling experience as well, having gone down by a just a length to subsequent Arkle and Champion Chase heroine Put The Kettle On in a Navan maiden that same season. Aubretia was a good second in her first completed start over hurdles at Roscommon last September and may prove next best. Ballinrobe third Annie G and Nextdoortoalice, fourth on debut at Limerick, have race fitness on their side and can contend for minor honours.%0A%0A
