Henry de Bromhead continues in top form and BANPRIONSA, a wide-margin winner between the flags, ran into a smart one on her hurdling debut at Cork and should go one better. Gordon Elliott‘s yard could hardly be going better so Thegingrin, another point-to-point winner, is likely to prove better than we saw in two runs last winter. Rachel‘s Secret was beaten half-a-length on her hurdling debut over this track and trip then ran in a Galway bumper where she did not quite get the run of the race. Not Before Time has found two miles too short in both starts to date so a better effort is expected.
