Verdict
Humble Gory carries a penalty for her bumper victory on this track before making a very promising debut over timber behind the long odds-on Lady Breffni over 2m4f here. With further progress she looks certain to go well and she easily holds third-placed Stockdale on that run. The Getaway Star is also penalised having won two bumpers though she's disappointed over timber after placed efforts at Listed and Grade 3 level. Merry Doyenne caught the eye of the stewards when fourth at Fairyhouse last month and has to be respected while Chenery ran her best race to date at Clonmel though that was back in October. Winning point-to-pointer EMILY ROEBLING ran a cracking race behind subsequent winner Velvet Elvis in what looked a strong Cork maiden last month. With Simon Torrens claiming his 5lb she looks the one to beat.
