Verdict

TIGER BAY QUEEN put up a useful performance when winning a listed bumper last spring and while she's not been seen since, she could easily outclass these on hurdles debut fitted with a hood. Smiling Bess and Russellsbelle set a fair standard.

  1. TIGER BAY QUEEN (IRE)
  2. SMILING BESS (IRE)
  3. RUSSELLSBELLE (IRE)
