In depth

Verdict

Cill Airne has shown a little ability in bumpers but those with hurdling experience look a very moderate bunch and this can go to one of the many winning point-to-pointers. Dangan Daylight won a mares' maiden at Kildorrey in February in which only three of the 16 runners completed the course. She's with the right yard to exploit her ability and should be noted but MAE'S CHOICE should have her measure. She won a similar event at Lingstown ten days ago and with a fitness advantage can take this for Gordon Elliott. The betting should be watched for pointers to the remainder.
