ANNA BUNINA had a profitable spring with victory in the Scottish Champion Hurdle handicap a particular highlight and she was to defy market weakness when lifting a Listed prize at Killarney last month. Shesadream made winning debut over hurdles at Limerick for Gordon Elliott's yard and has more scope than Sit Down Lucy, who has a bit to find at the weights with the favourite but there is rain in the forecast and that would help her cause greatly. Bellaney Gem has even more to find but looks best of the rest.
