Verdict
Lady De Vesci is penalised for her victories on the Flat and was well beaten on her debut over hurdles. Raven Rule easily won a Tramore bumper before elevated into higher grade and like SHEER LISS is also penalised. The latter showed much improved form to chase home Gelee Blanche in a mares' maiden at Tramore with the front-running Saucy Yeats 3 lengths back in third and should make a bold bid. Bonarc is 0-17 though did finish first past at Roscommon in June only to be disqualified after a positive sample. Cathmart Desjy has looked as though she needed further than this in her two latest starts, a remark that also applies to Jenny's Getaway.
