Verdict

Not a strong mares' maiden by any means and this looks a good opportunity for HOLLYMOUNT. Gordon Elliott's mare has improved with each start over hurdles, runner-up at Leopardstown (20f) 3 weeks ago, and she ought to prove tough to beat. Beret Rouge, back from a break, and bumper-scorer Bubbles In May head up the dangers, ahead of Kilbree Warrior.

  1. HOLLYMOUNT (IRE)
  2. BERET ROUGE (IRE)
  3. BUBBLES IN MAY (IRE)
