Verdict
Pont Aval, a winning bumper and hurdler in her younger days, was returning from a long absence at Naas a month ago when jumping poorly and soon trailing before pulled up. Her stablemate INSTIT attempted to make most but also made mistakes and was caught on the run-in by Telmesomethinggirl. Both will be expected to improve and the latter should have the measure of these. Emily Roebling, a winning point-to-pointer, never won in 14 starts over timber though was placed nine times including against some strong opposition. She makes her debut over regulation fences as does Rock On Cassie, who also won between the flags and beat a big field of maiden hurdlers at Punchestown a year ago.
