Verdict
VROOMVROOMBOO doesn't always find as much as looks likely off the bridle but she sets the standard on what she's achieved in handicaps so far. Lord Ffrench was given a consideration introduction to hurdles in a stronger race than this at Cork and he can do better upped in trip, while Luck Between Us was fourth on his hurdles bow last month and is entitled to improve.
