Verdict
CHURCHFIELD ANNIE clearly wasn't 100% when pulled up in a much stronger affair at Navan in November and, having shaped with definite promise on her 2 previous bumper runs, she looks well worthy of another chance back from a break. Newcomer Irish Lace represents a stable no stranger to success in this discipline and she commands a second look along with Magical Sal. Goodgollymissholly needs a market check on debut for Gordon Elliott.

VerdictJoshua Tree mare who improved on a promising debut effort under a positive ride when second in a Galway bumper (2m, soft) in October. Shaped as if amiss up in grade at Navan in November but given a break since and she could yet resume progress. Tongue strap now applied. - 8. Irish LaceJ: Mr S. ConnorT: Stuart Crawford

VerdictShirocco mare who was at long odds and reportedly lost action when pulled up in a Sligo bumper (18.5f) on sole start for Paul John Gilligan 12 months ago. Has since made a very interesting yard switch, so noteworthy if the betting spoke in her favour.

VerdictModest form at best in 3 bumpers (trained by Conor O'Keeffe first 2), not for the first time shaping like a stayer after 6 months off when fifth in a C&D contest 37 days ago. Longer trips over jumps promise to be more suitable but respected for place purposes nevertheless.

VerdictRunner-up on second of 2 starts in points (Mar 22) but shaped like a stayer starting out for new stable when fifth of 24 in a Punchestown maiden hurdle (16.5f) 8 days ago. Looks best watched now switched to a bumper.
