Verdict

Those with previous experience hurdling don't set a tall standard to aim at, so bumper winner VADSA QUEEN gets the vote to make a winning start in this sphere at the expense of Tina Meehan, who was previously trained by Champion trainer Willie Mullins and can easily have a line put through her hurdling debut effort. The Grey Dove and I Am Shadow are another couple to consider.

  1. VADSA QUEEN (IRE)
  2. TINA MEEHAN (IRE)
  3. THE GREY DOVE (IRE)
