Verdict

Moyhenna won a bumper here on New Year's Eve then returned to land a maiden hurdle a month later when the short-priced favourite Cut The Mustard was behind. She's run really well in better company subsequently and looks certain to go well. The front-running Redhotfillypeppers won over 2m6f here in February and may find one or two of these too quick including her stable companion GLENS HARMONY (NAP). A smart bumper, she made an impressive debut over hurdles at Thurles in October and looks to have been saved for this. Shimmer's Rock and Awayinthewest fought out a finish at Clonmel last month and the latter can take her revenge on this better ground.
