Verdict
Cork bumper winner Battling Bessie was placed in a Grade 3 bumper at Punchestown in April and will have come on markedly for last month's hurdling bow at Galway. Winning bumper Ginnets Girl found 2m4f just stretching her stamina at Sligo after going ahead four out and should make a bold bid for compensation while stable companion Harmonya Maker, another winning bumper, looks a smart recruit to hurdles. LAW ELLA easily won a Down Royal bumper on her debut before runner-up to the very useful Ashroe Diamond in an Aintree Grade 2 then running into another potentially high-class performer on her hurdling bow. She can get back on the winning trail and holds Battling Bessie on that Galway run.
