Verdict
Four-year-olds have won the last three of these and SHEISHYBRID, a decent handicapper on the Flat, should have come on enough for her run here last month to continue the trend. Miss Fourie won a Limerick bumper in April and makes her hurdling debut while Idoles Des Jeunes is an obvious one to keep an eye on having joined Willie Mullins after scoring on the Flat in France. Winning point-to-pointer Still Ciel was unlucky to be brought down at Downpatrick while Shona Mea has improved with each run and has to be on the shortlist after a narrow defeat at Kilbeggan. Wexford bumper winner Silver Breeze didn't get going until too late on her hurdling bow on this track.
