In depth
Verdict
Barrington Court won a Listed bumper at Navan but has disappointed over hurdles since a promising opening run. Bioverdia, easily landed a Ballinrobe bumper in April and makes her debut over timber as does Papal Pearl, though GETAWAY GORGEOUS looks the one to beat. Willie Mullins' mare, who won a Tramore bumper in August, started odds-on for her hurdling bow at Clonmel but wasn't quite able to concede 7lb to Uisce Solas though the remainder were well beaten. Compensation awaits though Lady Breffni, a winning point-to-pointer an bumper, made a very encouraging hurdling bow behind the smart Colreevy at Limerick and looks a threat.
