Verdict

Lots of these bring potential but the vote goes to DSCHINGIS DESIRE who made a winning start in France in the spring and rates an interesting prospect now starting out her top yard. Manoir De Mirande was still ahead when a final-flight faller on her hurdling bow at Cork and could emerge as the main danger, although several others need considering, notably Dead Cert, Munsif, Deep Water Bay, Ole Ole and Hardy Stuff in this fascinating maiden hurdle.
