Verdict

DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT makes plenty of appeal on his bumper form (carries penalty for Downpatrick success) and looks well worth another chance back over hurdles, having opened his account on the Flat last time. Two Pair shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on hurdle debut and may prove the main danger ahead of Kom Tu Voudras who is likely to have more to offer for top connections.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
1	Solid form in bumpers. Unable to justify strong support when midfield in a fairly useful novice at Cork on hurdles bow but back on track with a Flat success in a 14f Navan (soft) maiden. Carries a penalty back over hurdles but likely to be capable of much better in this sphere. 1st Pick 1 Dippedinmoonlight (Ire) Jockey: Donagh Meyler Trainer: Emmet Mullins, Ireland J: Donagh Meyler T: Emmet Mullins, Ireland	93	-	-	-	29%	5/2

13	Made an encouraging debut over hurdles (following 7 months off) when second of 12 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (20.2f, good) last month (Katie Daniels back in third). Looks sure to improve with that run under her belt. 2nd Pick 13 Two Pair (Ire) Jockey: Sean Flanagan Trainer: Paul Nolan, Ireland J: Sean Flanagan T: Paul Nolan, Ireland	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

10	Placed sole start in French bumper but flying too high on first start for Willie Mullins. Well held third behind a very well backed stablemate at Tramore last month and likely to prove capable of betting in first-time hood with Mark Walsh aboard for the first time. 3rd Pick 10 Kom Tu Voudras (Fr) Jockey: M.
