In depth
Verdict
SHADOW EILE is related to two winning bumpers but was evidently unfancied when making her debut in a huge field at Punchestown last month. She belied her big odds with an excellent second to My Cool Lady and normal improvement will see her difficult to beat. Grace N'Favour showed promise in points before a fair debut in a Downpatrick bumper last September while Miss Salinger, who is related to several winners, should have benefited from her run behind Spanish Treasure at Punchestown. Grangeclare Rhythm could provide the main threat as Dessie Hughes' mare has shown up well in two maiden hurdles and should have the pace for this.
