Forecasts

Gambling Mistress (4/6), Payngo (3/1), Villa Moura (7/2), Misty Mountain (5/1), Monaco Rose (6/1), Bridgets Cross (10/1), Darrens Diamond (12/1), Aileens Joy (16/1), Smash The Lamp (20/1), Traidisiun (40/1), Haondotri (50/1), I Will Walk (50/1), Golden Robin (66/1)

Verdict

Alargely uncompetitive maiden hurdle, in which plenty can be ruled out with confidence. There are a small group of four who look the ones to focus on, Bridgets Cross being one of those after she posted a career-best last time when fifth at Punchestown. Monaco Rose is also interesting on her hurdles bow after recently registering a couple of victories on the flat since joining this stable. Despite falling last time out, Villa Moura had been shaping with plenty of promise prior to that mishap, but preference is for GAMBLING MISTRESS who has the most convincing profile out of these and did little wrong in a better race when third at Tipperary on seasonal return.
