Verdict
Sainte Dona won over hurdles here in November but didn't make the expected progress. Henning won twice over timber at the beginning of the year while winning bumper Law Ella won a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick in April. The latter's stablemate Soldaro won a couple of minor races over timber while Natural Look would probably have won at Kilbeggan but for a last-fence fall and her latest run was over hurdles. PRESENTING DOYEN was in winning form over timber in the summer and made a very promising debut over fences at Ballinrobe so looks the one to beat unless the ground becomes very testing.
