11/2

Fairly useful filly who improved on hurdles debut form without looking a natural when third of 6 in a Fairyhouse juvenile (2m) 3 weeks ago. Respected back in this sphere making polytrack debut.

Forecasts

Persian Bliss (9/4), Polemon (9/4), Golden Temple (3/1), Pearl Jewel (10/3), Mo Ghille Mar (11/2), Migdam (17/2)

GOLDEN TEMPLE clearly wasn't himself on his latest hurdles run 5 weeks ago but he'd previously ran well at this venue so, with his usual headgear combination refitted, he's given the vote to quickly bounce back. Pearl Jewel and Mo Ghille Mar are others to consider in a tricky contest to unravel.
