Verdict

Dani Barcelona has a penalty for a debut bumper success a year ago but she was very disappointing on the Flat subsequently. Stable companion Mary Meehan showed potential in bumpers but pulled up in heavy conditions on her hurdling bow at Clonmel in October. Happy D'ex also carries extra for her Fairyhouse bumper success and though showing moderate form over timber she may have been finding the ground too testing. Winning point-to-pointer NORTH OF NASHVILLE put a poor run on heavy ground behind her with a very good run over this trip at Limerick and looks the one to beat here. Still Ciel, a winner between the flags, started favourite for her debut over timber at Killarney but weakened two out over that 2m6f trip.
