Fairly useful in bumpers and shaped similarly to on hurdling debut when third of 18 in a maiden (11/10) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 29 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Ought to go close.

Form:

Spindleberry²⁶⁵

Successful sole outing in points but ran below expectations when third of 12 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, soft) on NH debut. Off 8 months ahead of hurdle bow.

Little promise in a pair of bumpers and pulled up sole outing in points in December.

Form: 5/0-P

Why Delilah⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

25/1

Fair in bumpers but proved a disappointment sent hurdling when ninth of 14 in maiden at Thurles (23f, soft) 62 days ago. Should do better.

Form: 2P-9

Forecasts

Jolie Coeur Allen (9/4), Spindleberry (5/2), Hurricane Bailey (11/4), True Testimony (7/2), Milanaway (20/1), Roxhill Roise (25/1), Why Delilah (25/1), Miss Gherkin (66/1), Miss Vivacious (200/1), Eire Comes Tribsy (200/1), But What About Me (250/1), Sweet Maisie (250/1), Sioux Grit (250/1), We Will Rock You (250/1)

TRUE TESTIMONY improved on her hurdling debut form when runner-up at this venue 11 days ago and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, she's taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Jolie Coeur Allen and Hurricane Bailey are a pair of obvious threats.
