ARD ABHAINN won a point and a Punchestown bumper before reappearing with a fine run in a Listed bumper at Gowran. She looks a nice hurdling prospect and can make a successful debut. Fort Worth Texas, another point and bumper winner, was behind in that latter event but has experience over hurdles having finished runner-up at Ballinrobe last month when My Midnight was just behind. Janet's Charm looks another who should do well over timber judging by her bumper victory at Listowel. City Ballerina returned to action after a break to run well at Gowran and her experience should stand her in good stead in these conditions.
