Verdict

SALSINHA can go one better than at Punchestown last time and add another winner to her stable's recent haul. It's perhaps notable that Paul Townend partners Wonderful Everyday on hurdles debut, but stablemate Poetisa is preferred as the main danger, with improvement a distinct possibility back over obstacles.

6	Took a big step forward from her debut in this sphere when chasing home a thriving mare at Navan on latest hurdle start. Followed a solid bumper run with a lesser one at Fairyhouse last time, however she's in excellent hands and may well resume progress now back hurdling. 2nd Pick 6 Poetisa (Ire) Jockey: B.

13	Expensive purchase who impressed when making a winning debut in a valuable big-field bumper at Punchestown. Not seen to best effect in a Grade 3 bumper last time, but she's entitled to go close if translating the best of her form to hurdles, and gets the vote of confidence from Paul Townend. 3rd Pick 13 Wonderful Everyday (Ire) Jockey: P.
