Winning bumper Joy's Gift has now had six attempts over hurdles and looks as though she may do better over further. The Diary Keeper battled to a short-head victory in a Killarney bumper though that was on good ground in mid-summer. OSCO MOSCO had some smart bumper form and is gradually getting the hang of hurdling judging by a fine run at Listowel where she relished the testing ground. She can get off the mark, though Become Legend is a likely improver as though she was eventually well beaten at KIlbeggan she led for a long way before making a bad mistake at the last. Creation was well beaten into second in a Thurles bumper in February but had shown potential over hurdles in France earlier and should be winning races this campaign.
