Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler Bay Ambition was having her eleventh start over fences in a Clonmel handicap where she fell two out when there with a chance. Her stable also run Vera Verto, a winner on the Flat and over timber having her first start over fences. Choice Of Words had some smart form in bumpers and over hurdles and though showing nothing in two starts over fences is the type to do much better. However, HAPPY D'EX, a winner between the flags, of a bumper and twice over timber, has shown enough in her three starts over the bigger obstacles to suggest a race of this nature is within her capabilities.
