Verdict
Brides Hill won a Listed event over fences at Thurles in February and returned to action better than ever at Listowel where she easily beat Time To Rocco. The latter has won around here and will be a massive 20lb better off so should get much closer. Hurricane Georgie's close second to Minella Indo in a Punchestown Grade 3 entitles her to the greatest respect but she ran poorly on heavy ground at Clonmel next time. Queen Jane and BONNIE KELLIE were vying for the lead when both came down at the last in a Punchestown handicap in April where Optional Mix unseated at halfway. Sam Curling's mare defied a bad mistake two out to win easily at Clonmel in October and, though worse off with Queen Jane, still looks on a winnable mark.
