Race preview
Galway Festival bumper winner COURT MAID made a promising start to her hurdling career when runner-up in a red-hot 2m maiden at Listowel (first, third, fourth and ninth have all won since) and, a likely to improve for this step up in trip, she can prove a tough nut to crack. Whatucallher shaped with lots of promise in two bumper starts last season and warrants plenty of respect equipped with a first-time tongue-tie on her hurdling bow, while Coillte Eile could prove best of the remainder.
