Verdict
Dont Kick Nor Bite, a winning point-to-pointer and bumper, was a long odds-on chance for her hurdling debut here in May but was beaten 10 lengths in a race that hasn't worked out. Elusive Theatre has a very similar profile though she found quick ground against her at Ballinrobe. Inchiquin High looked a certain future winner when a close second at Tramore but made too many errors at Ballinrobe last month. Rosshaven Lady has been racing over further, though her best run came over this trip at Cork, while Delayed Eloquence was in the lead at this trip on her hurdling bow over 2m4f on the same track and should give a good account. The four-year-old Alabama Rose was a 50/1 chance when narrowly beaten in a huge field at Navan and further progress should see her in the frame but the hurdling debut of SHATTERED LOVE has been eagerly awaited. A winning point-to-pointer and bumper, she ran a cracking race in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree on her final start and has a superb pedigree for jumping.
