Verdict

MISS GOLDFIRE has been running consistently well and this looks a good oopportunity for her to finally shed maiden status over hurdles. Lahinch Wave had the benefit of an enterprising ride when making a winning Rules debut at Worcester in September but should be competitive under a penalty, with the selection's stablemate Neon Madonna likely to show more now moving up in trip on hurdle bow.

1	Has presumably not been the easiest to train given she finished third on her only start in Irish points back in 2022, but nonetheless, made a successful hurdling debut in 12-runner maiden at Worcester (20f) in September, enterprisingly ridden. Should be competitive under a penalty. 2nd Pick 1 Lahinch Wave (Ire) Jockey: Richie Mclernon Trainer: Neil Mulholland J: Richie Mclernon T: Neil Mulholland	84	-	-	-	63%

6	Dam 2m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Minor promise only in a pair of bumpers this winter but in good hands and jumping likely to see her in a better light, especially over this longer trip. 3rd Pick 6 Neon Madonna Jockey: Bryan Carver Trainer: Harry Fry J: Bryan Carver T: Harry Fry	75	-	-	-	8%
