Verdict

BALLYMOREEN made the frame twice from her 3 starts over hurdles earlier in the year and, having previously shown fair form in Irish bumpers, she remains with potential as she makes her handicap debut. She gets the vote ahead of Painted Wolf, who was successful at Fakenham when last seen, with That Is Blue also considered.
