Verdict

CONCERTISTA sets a high bar here following her second of 22 beaten a short-head behind Eglantine Du Seuil in the Grade 2 Mares' Novices' hurdle at the Cheltenham festival in March. The five-year-old will have plenty of competition in the shape of the Gordon Elliott-trained Larquebuse who can only improve on her maiden hurdle debut at Cork earlier this month and the Henry De Bromhead newcomer Telmesomethinggirl who won a point-to-point in February. The Noel Meade-trained Miss Cognac and Earthiest Words, second of 12 at Cork recently should not be underestimated.
