Runner-up sole start in Irish points and, despite being beaten a long way in the end, did offer a bit to work on making a belated hurdling debut at Wetherby 18 days ago.

Table Mountain¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 107

T: F O'Brien J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Juniper (5/2), Coquelicot (11/4), Who's The Boss (10/3), Shirocco's Dream (7/2), Table Mountain (5/1), Lady Valerie (33/1), Mrs Barnes (50/1), Lincoln Lyn (100/1), Hello Sunshine (125/1), Rainmaker (200/1), Dinah Washington (250/1), Gettysburgh (250/1), Dorisa Queen (300/1), True Spice (300/1)

JUNIPER made a lightly-raced one from a top stable work fairly hard here 10 days ago and should have further improvement in the pipeline for her new yard, so she's an appealing candidate. Coquelicot has yet to match her useful bumper form over hurdles but may have benefited from a wind operation/break. Who's The Boss is next on the list.
