Verdict

A winning Irish pointer, SIMILAR STORY showed improved form over hurdles when second at Hexham on her return, so she could be ready to open her Rules account with her yard going well ahead of her chasing debut. Edgewell isn't taken lightly after winning in good style at Downpatrick 15 days ago, with Raceview Road also considered.
