In depth
Verdict
Little Soiree is bred for hurdling but, given connections, is likely to have the pace for this. Betty Dutton was beaten a neck over hurdles at Tramore so connections must believe she has the speed for bumpers while Phils Choice has gone well enough in her four starts to get into contention. Iconography started favourite for her debut at Down Royal so must have been expected to do better but the vote goes to I AM SHADOW, who was beaten four lengths behind a smart one at Galway.
