Verdict

HELL CAT MAGGIE rattled-up a hat-trick before finding Grade 3 company too tough at Down Royal last week - she can resume winning ways back in a handicap. Dazzling Susie can race off a lower mark having landing a chase at this track a fortnight ago but has just the one win in 16 starts over hurdles and Dashing Lady may prove a bigger threat. The latter was caught in the closing stages at Wexford last time and that looks stronger form than Cloudy Rock's victory in a maiden hurdle at Galway. Chase and recent point-to-point winner Pops Well has yet to figure over timber.
