Verdict
ROYAL MOLL took a little time to warm to her task on her racecourse debut in a Sligo bumper but once in full flow she looked a very nice prospect for hurdling and this should prove a successful start. Love On Top won a bumper at Ballinrobe in May then ran a decent race on her hurdling debut at Ballinrobe. She should prove best of those with experience over timber with Catimini, a debut winner of a bumper at Wexford in December, possibly the best of the remainder.
