Verdict

This is an above-average race for the type around here having atrracted Deja Vue and The Cull Bank who are interesting recruits from the point-to-point circuit in Ireland. Dame Du Soir and Millarville both showed a turn of foot to quicken clear when scoring last time, but preference is for bumper winner BULLFROG. The mare landed an AW bumper and had been absent more than a year when taking on fitter rivals on her hurdling debut. She finished third to a winner who looks a good yardstick so she should be hard to beat against her own sex in receipt of a 7lb allowance.
  1. Bullfrog
  2. Millarville
  3. Dame du Soir
