3/1

Made more impact than previously over hurdles in much calmer waters after a 7-week break when second at Clonmel 7 weeks ago, putting up the best performance in the race conceding a bumper-winning penalty to most. Longer trip sure to suit and leading claims.

Wexford bumper winner last summer but seemed to lose all confidence following a couple of serious early errors on hurdles debut at Down Royal. Goes up markedly in trip back from 8 months off.

2/1

Dual bumper winner who took a keen hold and was unable to go with the principals pitched into listed company over hurdles after 9 weeks off at Thurles (2m) in December. Interesting stepping up markedly in trip back from a break.

9/4

Showed fair form both starts in bumpers and offered plenty to work on switched to hurdles when second at Cork (19f) 5 weeks ago, pulling a long way clear of the remainder. Can improve and big shout if staying the longer trip.

Held every chance when falling at the last on her sole outing in points and made an encouraging start in 2 bumpers before disappointing when odds on at Ayr in November. Upped markedly in trip for hurdles debut.

Forecasts

Samba Train (2/1), Poetic Twist (9/4), Early Bird (3/1), Miss Jocund (8/1), Prophetess Miriam (9/1), Chosen Princess (22/1), Fraher Field (25/1), Nells Princess (33/1), Julie Liath (50/1), Mysilverriverfeale (100/1), Eagle River (100/1), Eyecanboogie (125/1), An Bhfuil Tu Reidh (125/1), Mia In Milan (125/1), Little Neck Road (200/1), Its All Yellow (250/1)

POETIC TWIST made a bright start over hurdles at Cork 5 weeks ago and can open her account if her stamina lasts out over this longer trip. Samba Train and Early Bird will both appreciate this stiffer test and are big players.
