RAIN IN SPAIN shaped well in defeat last month in a Punchestown handicap hurdle over a similar trip finishing ¾L adrift of the winner and can go one better here off a 3lb higher mark. The six-year-old can win her third hurdle at the expense of Wexford runner-up, Lady Of The Sea and Lily Trotter who can improve from her Limerick run last month. Lockeen Girl, winner at Tramore in August should not be taken lightly.
