Verdict
GETAWAY KATIE MAI's two bumper victories included a Grade 2 at Aintree with her only defeat coming when a close second to subsequent Cheltenham winner Relegate at Leopardstown. She started a short-priced favourite on her hurdling debut at Galway but couldn't quite get to the front-running Western Victory but should make amends before going on to better things. Cordovan Brown is the other bumper winner in the line-up but she now has questions to answer after being well beaten in her later runs. Roney ran quite well on her hurdling bow at Wexford but looks as though she needs further while Niccolai, beaten a neck in a point at Stowlin in April, is another who probably needs a stiffer test.
