In depth

Verdict

Beyond Ambitious landed a Wexford bumper and started a short-price favourite for her hurdling debut at Punchestown but made too many mistakes. Inclusion won a point at Dromahane in April and made her debut for Willie Mullins over fences at Tramore last month but jumped poorly. That was over 2m5f and she could find this on the short side. She Is Electric had seven starts in bumpers without winning and her runner-up spot over hurdles here last month was over 2m7f. STILL CIEL (NAP), a winner between the flags, was conceding 3lb to Sheishybrid when beaten three lengths at Cork. The winner has subsequently won over hurdles and on the Flat so the form looks strong enough for this.
