Form & Verdict
Half-brother to five winners inc bumper winners Morning Royalty, Morning Run and Morning Supreme; dam unraced; low-key points' effort but encouraging efforts in both 2m1f bumpers, at Bellewstown (good) and last month when staying on well into a clear second in Killarney lady riders contest (yielding-to-soft); should appreciate this longer trip, definite player in a weak race.

Won a bumper last August (2m3f, good) and a Kilbeggan opportunity maiden hurdle in September (2m3f, good/yielding); nothing like as effective since then; improved ground and cheekpieces may be a help.

Irish raider who won a bumper in August (2m3f, good) and a Kilbeggan opportunity maiden hurdle in September (2m3f, good/yielding); not so good since, over 3m at Cheltenham on first occasion and with a tongue-tie over 2m6f last time; tongue-tie left off here; interesting.

Half-sister to winners Storm Of Swords (bumper, 2m-2m3f hurdle/chase) and Wild Fern (2m hurdle); Galway debut promise last summer for Seamus Fahey and back to something approaching that form on last month's yard debut at Tramore when chasing home a clear winner (2m, good-to-yielding); won't need to improve much to go one better here.

Couple of decent runs in bumpers last summer, two maiden hurdle runs not so good, soft ground may not have suited second occasion; seasonal return and ground more in her favour in what looks a modest maiden.
