Verdict

THE BIG WESTERNER made a very promising start to her chase career when a clear second at Fairyhouse and, likely to improve with that experience to draw upon, she will prove a tough nut to crack. Though Jade de Grugy's chase debut resulted in an underwhelming defeat (turned over at odds of 2/7), she boasts very smart hurdles form and is greatly respected for her top yard, which has saddled three of the previous four winners of this race. Farfromnowhere is best of the rest.
