Verdict

FIELD A THISTLES hasn't run since a creditable fourth behind the smart Brighterdaysahead in a Fairyhouse bumper in April that has worked out well but Patrick Mullins' presence suggests she'll be ready for this. Rachel's Secret was a bit unfortunate not to have won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Tramore so has to be a threat along with Glens Lullaby, a close third in what looked a decent race at Tipperary. There are several for the notebook including Knockarina, bred to be a smart chaser, and Magical Annie, a half-sister to the winning bumper Minella Mate.
