Verdict
LOUGHGLYNN landed a Naas bumper last December before a decent effort in the championship bumper at Cheltenham and can make a successful hurdling debut. Charity Barnum will be receiving the mares‘ allowance and was in touch and going well when falling three out at Navan in March. Winning point-to-pointer Native Speaker ran poorly on his hurdling bow at Limerick last month but that probably was not his form as Rachael has chosen him over Elusive Prince, who won a point at Dawstown in May.
