Garron Crest didn't show much in two starts over hurdles but improved to take a Wexford bumper in April and should have more to offer.

She'll be difficult to beat but winning point-to-pointer and bumper A HARDY NAILER made a very encouraging debut over timber behind the long odds-on Black Hercules at Cork, when the remainder of the field were in another parish, and she is taken to go one better.
