Verdict
DOYEN FLYER is out of a winning hurdler from a very smart family and looks to have been found a winning opportunity on her debut. Gordon Elliott runs Six Ace, who was beaten a long way when placed at Bellewstown, and Ringdufferin, who made a satisfactory debut at Roscommon and is certain to have benefited from the experience. Champagnesocialist was returning from a break when a very good fourth in what looked a strong Kilbeggan bumper and could provide the main threat.
