FLAMING POP showed ability in bumpers and has made a good start over hurdles. She ran well enough in her early races to be sent into Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse and her close fifth behind Shadow Eile is way beyond anything achieved by today's rivals. Punters will need to forgive a moderate effort in a Grade 3 at Punchestown last time but she can bounce back and gain her first success. Thynetocatcher was pulled up in that Grade 2 but she's better than that while Ruby Walsh has ridden Castlerock Rose when she's produced her best performances and is back on board here so she could be a threat. The remainder will need to improve to take a hand.
