Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Difficult ask.

Form: 0430

Forecasts

Bonnie Kellie (7/2), Tankardstown Diva (5/1), Spice Diva (5/1), Rebel Cowgirl (11/2), Kelly's Birr (6/1), Gaye Winnie (10/1), Milanaway (10/1), Glorious Singer (12/1), Miss Vivacious (14/1), Frazel Express (25/1), Getaway Erin (50/1), Stradbally Village (100/1)

A chance is taken on BONNIE KELLIE who has a much lower mark over hurdles compared to chases. Recent Down Royal handicap debut runner-up Rebel Cowgirl heads the dangers along with Gordon Elliott pair Gaye Winnie, the mount of Jack Kennedy, and Kelly's Birr.
