Some Dove⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 104| C

13/8

Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Encouragement to glean from 2 of her 3 starts over fences, probably doing too much too soon when third in a Tipperary maiden (19.5f) 44 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 415-623

Fair hurdler who shed maiden tag at Clonmel (19.5f) in April. Similar form back over fences when third of 7 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 12/1) 27 days ago. In the mix with a repeat.

Forecasts

Some Dove (13/8), Ceanndana (10/3), Will You Win (7/2), Gali Flight (11/2), Speed Gang (11/2), Roman Parish (6/1), Willywampus (9/1), Doctor Churchill (10/1), Listentillitellyea (12/1), Corkbeg (25/1), Croi Corcra (40/1)

Despite seemingly doing too much too soon, SOME DOVE shaped as if still in good form when third in a Tipperary novice 44 days ago and remaining capable of better in this sphere, she looks to hold good claims of opening her account. Ceanndana is progressing well over hurdles and is also respected now tackling larger obstacles. Will You Win and Doctor Churchill complete the shortlist.
