CEOL RUA won a Punchestown bumper on ground with plenty of give on New Year's Eve before finishing runner-up in a Listed event at Aintree. She was thrown in at the deep end in the Champion Bumper back at Punchestown and made no impression on stablemate Lovethehigherlaw but this is a low-key start to her hurdling career and she should be up to it. Andunowhat has made steady progress in bumpers and can go well on her first start over timber but Catcherinthescratcher's best form has come in testing conditions. Boro Bee has some fair form but she was behind Lisrenny Lady when Cecil Ross' mare finished an excellent runner-up to Dibella in a huge field at Navan last time and is unlikely to reverse the form. Clarach and Evesham Star has both done enough to warrant attention, especially the latter who ran very well behind Shifa at Gowran last time.
