This isn't the strongest of maidens so POINT THE TOES, an excellent second behind Greenbelt Star in a Roscommon bumper that has worked out well, gets the nod to make a winning start to her hurdling career. Tramore bumper winner Benefit Of Porter disappointed subsequently at Down Royal and will need to do better as will Make My Night, who looked one-paced when third behind Grace N' Favour here in May. Black Rock Lake ran a couple of decent races over this C&D in May but has been well beaten on the level subsequently. Milbig Lass has disappointed over timber since landing a Punchestown bumper on soft ground last May but looks the type to improve.
