11/10

Useful Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott and made a winning start over hurdles for new yard in maiden at Punchestown. Found Grade 1 at Leopardstown too demanding since but remains with potential back down in class.

4/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who built on hurdling debut effort when opening account at Fairyhouse in November. Progressed again when placed in Graded events next 2 starts and easy to forgive last run (made a serious error on handicap bow). Big player.

Forecasts

Immediate Effect (11/10), Majolique (15/8), Adrienne (4/1), Michonne (12/1), Sopelana (12/1), Berto Ramirez (80/1)

IMMEDIATE EFFECT found a Grade 1 at Leopardstown too competitive at this stage of his development 3 weeks ago and can quickly bounced back returned to a more suitable level. Adrienne was let down by her jumping in a big field last time but she was progressive prior to that so is worth another chance. French-recruit Majolique is highly tried on hurdling debut but represents top connections.
