Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner who was well below her best when last seen over hurdles during spring 2019. However, in excellent hands and unlikely to be wanting for fitness on chase debut.

Forecasts

Gin On Lime (6/5), Sapphire Lady (5/2), Surin (10/3), Trees Valley (17/2), Laureate (25/1), Howaya Aoife (33/1), Clancypantz (50/1), Gold Creek (100/1)

SURIN was useful over hurdles and shaped promisingly when runner-up on return/chase debut at Fairyhouse 12 days ago. She's the type to improve for that initial experience and earns the vote. There is interest in opposition however, Gin On Lime and Sapphire Lady fancied to pose the chief threats.
