Verdict
RUAILLE BUAILLE will be a warm order for her hurdling debut after a facile victory in a Tramore bumper where she always looked like a winner. Bioverdia, another winning bumper, will ensure she has a test after a very good second at Down Royal last month but Floating Around, who was only headed close home at Cork last month, didn't jump as well at Sligo a couple of weeks later. Majestic Maid has an absence to overcome but may prove best of the remainder.
