Verdict

JOLIE COEUR ALLEN found disappointingly little when push came to shove on her hurdles debut at Tramore, but she remains a useful prospect in view of what she showed in bumpers and is taken to get the job done this time. Picture of You is the clear main danger on the back of her near miss at Cork, while Nathan Wells and likely improver Joyau de Thaix both make each-way appeal.
