Saorcha Fitzgerald
Failed to complete on either start in points and shaped as if in need of experience on hurdling debut but been placed twice in bumpers, including when 7½ lengths second of 11 to New Grange at Listowel last time. Will stay further than 2½m and Jack Kennedy is an eye-catching jockey booking.
