Bitofapuzzle is being lined up for a trip to Ireland later this month for a shot at the Ocovango Coolmore National Hunt Sires EBF Mares Novice Chase at Thurles. Trainer Harry Fry is plotting a crack at the Grade Two prize on January 14 with the lightly-raced eight-year-old after she impressed in her debut victory over fences at Exeter last month.
