A steady pace set by the outsider puts a cap on how highly the form can be rated but the first 2 are useful prospects and look worth following.

ECHOING SILENCE (IRE) confirmed the promise of her first hurdles win, the form of which continues to work out tremendously well; chased leader, jumped fluently, travelled well, produced to lead before last, asserted run-in; she'll go on improving and will be well worth her place in a still higher grade.

SWITCH FROM DIESEL (IRE) improved on the form of her hurdling debut, losing out only to one better placed and tidier with her jumping, Switch From Diesel capable of better again, especially returned to less testing conditions; waited with, typically travelled well, crept closer 4 out, third 2 out, every chance approaching last, jumped left there, held run-in.

CARRY ON HEIDI (IRE) seemed to excel herself having been allowed the run of things back up in trip; led, took keen hold, headed before last, plugged on.

CHOSEN COMRADE (IRE) is bred to stay well and seemed unsuited by the steady pace as she met with defeat for the first time; in touch, outpaced from 2 out; it had all been positive with her up to this point and she's well worth another chance, not least when granted a greater test of stamina.

NEON DIAMOND (IRE) has regressed from her winning start to the season, probably flying too high in this grade after 4 months off but leaving herself little chance of bridging the gap with a significant mid-race error; in touch, lost place when bad mistake fourth, lost touch 3 out.

AMEN KATE (IRE) a likeable and usually straightforward mare, is probably best forgiven this indiscretion, seemingly spooked as the tape went back and unseating her rider.
