CAILIN ANNAMH was in brilliant form over hurdles last summer, culminating in a Grade 3 victory at Punchestown. She was a short-priced favourite on her chasing bow at Fairyhouse last week and was close enough when taking a crashing fall at the second last. Hopefully that won't have affected her confidence and she can make amends. Caoimhe's Delight won a Grade 2 on very heavy ground here in March but she goes on this much quicker ground though is just held by Fantastic Gold on their run at Thurles in October when the latter narrowly prevailed. Blazing Sonnet hasn't been at her best since scoring at Thurles in January but none of the remaining trio can be completely dismissed, especially if the selection is affected by her fall.
