11/2
8/1, shaped with some encouragement when third at Tramore (2m, 15 ran) on debut 3 weeks ago, fading after mistakes. Entitled to build on that.

2/9
100/1 and not up to the task in the Triumph Hurdle but her previous odds-on defeat at Fairyhouse when starting out for the yard is looking better now (several winners in the field). Capable of better and this looks a good opening.

Walk In The Park filly. Dam (h92), maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m), closely related to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 23f) Royal Rendezvous.

Poet's Word filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Yeats Star, stays 3m and bumper winner Chosen Thyme, stays 23f. Appealing newcomer on paper, although Jack Kennedy rides experienced stablemate Porcupine Bank.

Forecasts

Noemie De La Vis (2/9), Porcupine Bank (11/2), Out Of Aces (7/1), Whitepark Lady (25/1), Princedici (28/1), Spellitoutforme (40/1), Matcho D'agrostis (100/1), Cometothinkofit (250/1)

Verdict

NOEMIE DE LA VIS found the Triumph Hurdle too hot but her narrow defeat at Fairyhouse previously has proven good form and she should get the job done here. Gordon Elliott's pair Porcupine Bank and Whitepark Lady are the dangers.

  1. Noemie De La Vis2/9
