Verdict

TUTU TWIST has shown enough to suggest she can win a race of this nature. Willie Mullins' newcomer Blue Trix is feared, especially if the market vibes are strong. Likely improver Not In A Hurry completes the shortlist.

11	Made the frame both starts in points. Shaped with some encouragement when third in a Naas maiden hurdle and Clonmel bumper in the spring (beaten 16 lengths both occasions). Addition of first-time tongue strap could benefit given how she shaped last time. Looks a big player on hurdles return. 1st Pick 11 Tutu Twist (Ire) Jockey: D. J.

7	Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Beggars Rock, stays 3¼m. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 25f) Aces Four and fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Hell Cat Maggie. Powerful yard 5-9 with 2026 hurdling debutants (prior to this meeting). 2nd Pick 7 Blue Trix (Ire) Jockey: D. E. Mullins Trainer: W. P. Mullins, Ireland J: D. E. Mullins T: W. P.

6	Walk In The Park gelding out of a useful mare who raced in these colours. Offered something to work with when 14½ lengths third of 11 in a course novice (2m) on debut. Very much one to consider with improvement likely over this longer trip. 3rd Pick 6 Not In A Hurry (Ire) Jockey: S. D. Torrens Trainer: Aidan Anthony Howard, Ireland J: S. D.
