In depth
Verdict
J P McManus paid £400,000 for MY WHIRLWIND after she won a point at Ballycahane in March 2019. It’s taken a while to get her to the track but she has massive potential and fitness is rarely an issue for one from her yard. Stablemate Fantastic Lady was an eye-catcher on her racecourse debut here in December and has been ready to run for a while. Hunny Moon has been a beaten favourite in both starts over hurdles but she has ability and should be winning soon. Ballycallan Fame was a huge price at Wetherby on Boxing Day but made all and won as she liked so shouldn’t be underestimated. Gold Leader has a nice jumping pedigree and is worth noting for future reference
