Westport Lady easily won a Thurles bumper but was well beaten when runner-up on her hurdling debut at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and again on the same track three weeks later. Fur Elise showed some potential in a Clonmel maiden in February and last week's bumper run at Galway will have put her straight while the four-year-old Little Lady Lu didn't run badly here last month and gets all the allowances. Winning bumper STEEL CAP couldn't get close enough to Construct to mount a challenge at Downpatrick but the winner, who runs earlier, looks useful so the form should be strong enough for this. Dollar Value looks best of the remainder.
