Verdict

VROUM VROUM MAG has done everything asked of her over fences and it's quite a surprise to see her running in this ordinary race after her Grade 2 victory at Thurles. She has several engagements at Cheltenham and this should provide a nice pipe-opener. Whatwillwecallerher has come to chasing late but could hardly have been more impressive on her debut on this track and she'll take advantage if the favourite doesn't come up to scratch. She had Jacksonslady 15l behind when landing a Limerick bumper though that was four years ago and the latter has done well over hurdles and fences subsequently winning a total of six races.
