Verdict

FUN FUN FUN and Gaillimh A Run both showed plenty in bumpers and rate good hurdle prospects, but preference is for the former, who quickened clear of her rivals in taking fashion in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown in February. Rockstown Girl was let down by some novicey mistakes on her hurdling debut at Fairyhouse and she shouldn't be taken lightly with that initial experience behind her.
