E12,000 3yo; 4th foal; sister to useful 2m4f/2m5f hurdle winner Atlantic Fairy; dam placed point/unplaced bumpers and hurdles, half-sister to bumper/2m3f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Keepitsecret and bumper/2m4f hurdle/2m6f chase winner Be My Leader; interesting connections have persevered with this 8yo; worth a market check. |

Fifth in a beginners' chase at Downpatrick in August before winning three points in the autumn campaign; encouraging second in a maiden hurdle at Limerick, travelling strongly; first time visor on; major contender, though the Limerick form was let down by the winner Go Boy at Navan last Saturday. |

Much improved when runner-up (beaten roughly 2l) at Limerick last month; hard to know what to make of that form but the handicapper hasn't gone overboard with her opening mark. |

Showed promise in bumpers; respectable effort on hurdles debut 22l behind Hauturiere; can give a good account without winning. |

Three-time point winner and second to a couple of decent mares in bumpers back in the spring; likely to make her mark over hurdles but this looks a very tough assignment on her hurdles debut. |

Point-to-point winner has improved on each of 4 maiden hurdle runs, latest when closing third in 2m3f Limerick auction contest over Christmas; 3/4l to find with Ik's Man on that run but rider's 7lb claim here could prove crucial. |

Verdict
The frustrating Hauturiere made an encouraging reappearance at Limerick behind Shecouldbeanything and should go well again. Preference is for DESERT HEATHER, who took a big step forward at Limerick. She has been in good heart, winning three points, and travelled notably well behind Go Boy on her return to the track Purse Price has been holding her form well for Gordon Elliott but she might need more of a test of stamina to show her best.
