Verdict

FARFROMNOWHERE can be forgiven her effort in the Martin Pipe and looks the way to go back chasing given she'd made a promising start in 2 runs in this sphere at the end of 2025. Beauforts Storm might be the danger given Future Prospect needs to leave behind a bad experience at Tramore.

4	Useful mare shaped with encouragement in both chase starts prior to a forgivable effort in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, and she makes plenty of appeal back over fences. 1st Pick 4 Farfromnowhere (Ire) Jockey: S.

Analysis Useful mare shaped with encouragement in both chase starts prior to a forgivable effort in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, and she makes plenty of appeal back over fences.
2	Fairly useful hurdler in 2024/25 and seemed to do a whole lot better than previously over fences when second in similar event at Tramore (2m) last month. Player if building on that back up in trip. 2nd Pick 2 Beauforts Storm (Ire) Jockey: Mr D. Doyle Trainer: Timothy Doyle, Ireland J: Mr D. Doyle T: Timothy Doyle, Ireland	84	-	-	-	5%

5	Bumper/fairly useful hurdles winner who, despite having also won her sole outing in points, made an unconvincing start to life over fences at Tramore (2m) last month, held when taking a heavy fall 2 out. Hood back on and needs to prove that hasn't left a mark. 3rd Pick 5 Future Prospect (Ire) Jockey: B. Hayes Trainer: W. P. Mullins, Ireland J: B. Hayes T: W. P. Mullins, Ireland	93	-	-	-	34%
