HURRICANE GEORGIE has drawn a blank since her Midlands National success at Kilbeggan in summer 2022 but her latest Punchestown Grade 3 second would suggest she's still smart on her day and this might be a decent opportunity for her as Limerick Lace has peak fitness to prove back from 6 months off, while Heia needs to get back on track after a disappointing run at Listowel last month.
