Notched a second hurdles win at Tramore last time with a well-judged front-running ride from today's rider in first-time blinkers, winning easily by 13l; that success came against the tide of moderate form since her last win in 2024; likelihood is that she finds it hard to repeat the trick.

Verdict

A 125,000GBP purchase after winning a Lisronagh point’ in March under today’s rider, PALLAS ATHENE could be good enough to take this. Global Brief and Imperial Fox are surely better than their debuts. Shesakindofmagic looks the most interesting of the newcomers. [Tyrone Molloy]
