Modest maiden on Flat, stays 9f, below form this year. Dam, 1¾m winner, closely related to fairly useful hurdler Pippa Greene, so could take to hurdling.

One Cool Choice^t⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: I J McCarthy| T: J P Fahey

Modest maiden on Flat who has been out of sorts this year, so makes little appeal now going hurdling.

HOT ON MY HEELS showed enough under a considerate ride in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe last month to suggest she can win a race like this, so receives the vote. Roisins Ciara has also shown promise and could do better, with Georgina Burgess another to consider having not been disgraced in the bumper sphere.
