Verdict
PRINCESS SOPHIA has improved with each run in bumpers and came up against a smart one at Listowel. This looks a very moderate event and she can make a successful debut over timber. Powerful Out has been well supported on several occasions without winning but led for a long way in a Tramore handicap last time. Lighthouse Lady makes a quick reappearance after a moderate run at Cork on Sunday and she hasn’t won in 30 outings. Hollymount made an impressive winning bumper debut at Carlisle then ran in two graded events. She’s a nice recruit to hurdling while Choral Work scored on the Flat for William Haggas at Haydock. Matilda With Me won a couple of minor races on the level in the summer and Kilbarry Chianti would have to be considered if getting a run from her reserve spot.
