Verdict

Harmonya Maker has won a bumper here and scored twice over timber at Fairyhouse in-between a placed effort over 2m3f in Listed company around here. Henning bounced back to winning ways in a novices' race at Fairyhouse after a couple of poor efforts while Shecouldbeanything beat Hauturiere four lengths when conceding 13lb over 2m4f at Limerick before finding Grade 2 company beyond her over two miles here. The latter has subsequently won a Fairyhouse maiden by 15 lengths but her yard look to have a better chance with EABHA GRACE (NAP). She wasn't beaten far behind the smart Hiddenvalley Lake on her hurdling debut then finished runner-up in a huge field of maidens at Naas. She then beat Thursday's easy Clonmel winner Fiery Brown by 30 lengths over this course and distance and can enhance her Albert Bartlett claims here.
