Verdict
Ambush Angel quickly has her sights turned to hurdling after her surprise debut success in a Tramore bumper a couple of weeks ago and connections must be confident. Winning bumper Shadow Eile makes her hurdling debut and has the pedigree to do well at the game while Coral Creek has a couple of very good runs to her credit though she's not entirely consistent. WORLDLY WISE finished 16 lengths in front of her when runner-up to the odds-on Tavern Times at Gowran in June and Patrick Flynn's six-times Flat winner should lose his maiden tag over hurdles here.
