Verdict

Having finished runner-up on bumper debut at Wexford, MAHON FALLS wasn't seen to best effect when sixth in a big-field contest at Listowel (2m) on her most recent start 4 weeks ago. However, appealing as the type to do better in this sphere, she could be worth siding with to make it first time lucky. Looks Matter following her bumper second at Hexham is another of note on debut for a new stable. Our Lucky Lady and Crystabel complete the shortlist.

7	Buck's Boum mare who was a good second on bumper debut at Wexford (2m) prior to not being seen to best effect when sixth of 18 in bumper at Listowel (16f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Interesting for leading yard now hurdling. 1st Pick 7 Mahon Falls (Ire) Jockey: P. Townend Trainer: W. P. Mullins, Ireland J: P. Townend T: W. P. Mullins, Ireland	99	-	-	-	67%

6	Related to winners and having been supported on Rules debut, only just failed to justify it when second of 8 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 6/1) on NH debut 132 days ago. Makes hurdles debut for new yard and significant if the market spoke in her favour again. 2nd Pick 6 Looks Matter (Ire) Jockey: S. D. Torrens Trainer: John Mcconnell, Ireland J: S. D.

8	Mid-field at best in maidens/handicap on Flat but immediately made more impact when third of 16 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 8 days ago. Feasible to think she can do better again provided she settles better. 3rd Pick 8 Our Lucky Lady (Ire) Jockey: Cian Cullinan Trainer: P. G. Fahey, Ireland J: Cian Cullinan T: P. G.
