Verdict

BROSNA SHINE looks well worth this step up in grade and she's fancied to follow up her impressive Fairyhouse victory. Royal Hillsborough has mixed it in useful company this season and shaped well last time, she's feared along with improving Cheltenham bumper scorer Celestial Tune. Wonderful Everyday finished ahead of Brosna Shine on debut and has to enter calculations if back to her best.

7	Debut bumper winner at Ayr who has chased home some useful prospects this season, including when third in a C&D bumper in December. Fared best of those who raced up with the good early pace that day and there may be better to come. 2nd Pick 7 Royal Hillsborough (Ire) Jockey: Mr S. Connor Trainer: Stuart Crawford, Ireland J: Mr S.

1	Progressive mare who landed a double when winning 12-runner listed bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) with something in hand at the November meeting. That likely wasn't a stellar renewal but no surprise to see her make a bold bid for the hat-trick under a penalty. 3rd Pick 1 Celestial Tune (Ire) Jockey: Mr J. L.
