Race Tip

SIXANDAHALF (21) finished an excellent third on the flat in the Irish Cesarewitch and she created a sizeable impression on her hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last time. Gavin Cromwell's mare lacks experience but has so much potential in this sphere and is selected to make it two from two over hurdles. GALILEO DAME (24) holds very solid form claims after finishing runner-up in the G1 Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown last month and must be respected. The unbeaten MAUGHREEN (17) is well-bred and needs to be taken seriously with the first-time hood fitted after her successful hurdling debut at Punchestown in January. Stablemate AURORA VEGA (2) also needs to be considered for the powerful Willie Mullins team.
