Verdict

KAROLINE BANBOU failed to justify strong support but produced a promising effort nevertheless when runner-up on yard/hurdles debut at Naas 5 weeks ago. Looking sure to improve with that under her belt, Willie Mullins' mare is fancied to go one place better, possibly at the chief expense of fellow promising Pour les Filles. Kir and Amber Point are another pair to note.
