Verdict
Several of these met in an ordinary maiden at Clonmel last month won by One For Joules. Lil Ella came out best of them in second spot with Accidental Outlaw four lengths away in fourth, Alamanda just behind in fifth, Invincible Vibes a further five lengths back in sixth, and Sughera well beaten. There doesn't appear any reason for a reversal of the form and Lil Ella will have come on for the experience. Ember Jack and SUMMERSINERRILL both finished behind Days Ahead on their hurdling debuts and there is very little to choose between the pair though the former just comes out best at the weights and gets the vote.
