Heavy ground maiden hurdle winner at Punchestown in February before some decent efforts in competitive contests; struck again with a supremely comfortable victory at Bellewstown in August (2m1f, good); tongue-tie now added to the previously worn hood after she weakened quickly at Listowel last time; avoids penalty and leading contender if back to her best.

Twice-placed in bumpers for Harry Kelly; off the mark in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last February (2m, heavy); keen throughout at Kilbeggan in June when finishing third (2m3f, good); supremely comfortable victor at Bellewstown last time when allowed to dominate (2m1f, good); jumps left at times so this track should suit and will be dangerous if given soft lead but step back up in trip raises a question; Townend chooses Jalila Moriviere.

Verdict

Having been runner-up in a solid edition of the Land Rover Bumper before another fine run in Listed company last time, MISS AGUSTA can make the most of this drop in grade. Her stablemate, Quinta, is respected with Codd aboard, while narrow Limerick runner-up Polly’s Fortune and beautifully-bred debutant Marie Philippe are significant dangers. [Tyrone Molloy]
