Verdict
HAUTURIERE and Eabha Grace have met twice recently over hurdles with the score one each. The latter had the call in a Limerick Grade 3 in March but pulled up in the Grade 1 Honeysuckle at Fairyhouse when the former finished a very good fourth. Happy D'ex has won a point-to-point, a bumper and scored twice over hurdles and though yet to win over fences her time will come judging by her two most recent runs. Roseys Hollow, a Grade 3 winner over hurdles, has come up against some smart chasers in her five starts over fences but may just need a confidence booster after an early fall at Ballinrobe.
