Form & Verdict
Point winner took a Galway bumper on rules debut last year; the best of three hurdle runs was when a close 3rd at the same track last time over 2m; was previously 3rd over 2m6f at Downatrick, so this trip should suit fine; ground-versatile; major contender.

Landed a bumper in May and added hurdle wins around 2m at Fairyhouse (maiden) and Down Royal (Grade 3 mares' novice) this autumn; those successes came on good (twice) and good to yielding; has the form to be bang there but others perhaps have greater scope for improvement.

4/1

Verdict

A running on third over 2m at Galway last time, NOTKEEPINYAGOING could now get off the mark over hurdles back up in trip. Stormalong has to rebound from a poor run but can go well if restored to her best. Ah Fuhgeddaboudit wasn’t disgraced in Listed company last time and has a shout, while Not Before Time is bred to appreciate this trip and can go well. [Tyrone Molloy]
