Verdict

JASMINE PEARL showed plenty to work on when fifth on debut (fourth a winner next time out) and she's taken to improve for her excellent yard. Music of Life isn't the most straightforward but is entitled to be in the mix back in a maiden, while Daboya's Listowel fourth has worked out well and she'd be interesting if supported on third start over hurdles. Fairly useful Flat performer Gangster Granny is another to note.

10	No Risk At All filly. Dam (h117), bumper/2m-2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Eva's Oskar. Shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (4/1) at Wexford (16.4f, soft) on debut. Form has been boosted and likely to improve for top yard. 1st Pick 10 Jasmine Pearl Jockey: D. J. O'keeffe Trainer: Henry De Bromhead, Ireland J: D. J.

16	Plenty of creditable efforts this season, despite looking less than straightforward off the bridle. Gave her running when creditable second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 9 days ago, running on. Should remain competitive back in a maiden. 2nd Pick 16 Music Of Life (Ire) Jockey: Mr J. H. Williamson Trainer: Denis Hogan, Ireland J: Mr J. H. Williamson T: Denis Hogan, Ireland	100	-	-	-	42%

1	Fairly useful Flat winner. Showed more than on hurdles debut when fourth in an 18-runner mares' maiden at Listowel. That form is working out well and she could have more to offer back over hurdles following a creditable effort on the Flat latest. 3rd Pick 1 Daboya (Ire) Jockey: D. E. Mullins Trainer: R. Donohoe, Ireland J: D. E. Mullins T: R. Donohoe, Ireland	95	-	-	-	17%
