FormscanBy Mark Nunan - DE LADY IN RED showed plenty of stamina up the hill when winning a Galway bumper after a summer break on her first start for Barry Connell. The runner-up didn’t do much for the form at Listowel but the daughter of Jet Away should improve for the run and is likely to appreciate stepping up to 2m4f. She had a couple of promising runs over hurdles at Navan in March, notably when runner-up to the classy Bigbadandbeautiful. The latter’s stable companion Humble Glory is rated 116 and, although lacking a recent run, looks a big danger. A bumper winner at Punchestown, she was placed three times over hurdles last term and looked set for victory when coming down at the final flight at Clonmel in April. A reproduction of her earlier second to Lady Breffni, who subsequently won a handicap off 135, would make her very hard to beat. Robyndeglory has been runner-up in five maiden hurdles and is tried in a first-time visor but may have to settle for minor honours again, while Flat winner Fraternity has shown ability over hurdles but is another who looks to have place prospects at best.
