Verdict
BONNY KATE landed a Punchestown bumper on New Year's Eve and attracted good support for her hurdling debut at Leopardstown. She attempted to make all but made mistakes and will know more this time. Gimli's Voyage hasn't shown much but his stablemate Chitter Chatter ran well for a long way at Leopardstown and will have gained from the experience. Stowaway Splash was beaten a long way on his debut in a bumper here and though the four-year-old filly Aloneallalone gets all the allowances she was also well beaten when making her hurdling bow here a fortnight ago.
