Verdict
This looks another for the champion trainer via COLREEVY, despite a disappointing first run over timber at Cork. A Grade 1 bumper winner at Punchestown, she started odds-on at Cork but was put in her place by Midnight Run. She should have come on enough to take this though the winner's yard is represented by Lady Breffni, who was an impressive winner on her hurdling bow at Downpatrick in the summer. Scarlet And Dove also runs for Joseph O'Brien and she looked a smart prospect when landing a bumper here just over a year ago. Valentina Lady couldn't handle Listed company at Navan after scoring at Naas and this opposition looks even stronger.
