        Verdict

        A cracking mares only novices hurdle here with many highly regarded sorts in opposition including Glenmoss Tara, Feel The Pride, Mindanao and Cita Verda and we will take a chance on Glenmoss Tara. The top weight is from the bang in form Nicky Richards yard and rounded off last season with a good second behind Ar Muin Na Muice in a listed handicap. That form looks rock solid and a reproduction of it would make her hard to beat. Feel The Pride rates the main danger she won in facile fashion last time out when defeating I Got Rhythm. However this is much more competitive and she is running off a higher mark. Mindanao could also go well but she gave the impression the handicapper had just caught up with her when third behind The French Furze last time. Cita Verda was third behind Beat The Heat last time and that does not look good enough in the context of this race. Of the remainder Chevet Girl is from a yard in top form and could run well at a big price now she returns to hurdles but we are happy to side with Glenmoss Tara.
