Verdict
Jeunopse had been going well in handicaps before falling at Limerick on Monday but faces a stiffer task here. TENNIS CAP landed a minor bumper in France in April and made a very promising start for Willie Mullins in a maiden hurdle at Navan where he faded after travelling well for much of the way. He'll be better for the run and can take this though Woodville Lady looks a big threat as she looked a certain future winner when a close third to Reizovic on her racecourse debut at Naas in November. Hot Prospect, a pattern-race performer on the Flat in the UK, is an interesting newcomer for Edward Harty.
