In depth
Verdict
An uninspiring maiden hurdle can go to WILMS WARRIOR. Andrew Slattery’s charge was well beaten on the Flat last time but won a bumper before going close on her hurdling debut at Ballinrobe. Red Pearl landed a bumper last year but hasn’t raced since finishing fifth over timber at Navan in April while She's A Star also won a bumper at Down Royal back in February and goes hurdling for the first time today. Khalessi has claims on her second over hurdles at Cork while Evergreen Lane is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
