FormscanBy Alan Magee - THE MODEL KINGDOM was a smart sort in bumpers last season and can make a winning start over hurdles. She won all three starts in bumpers on varying ground conditions including a Grade 3 Mares race at the Punchestown Festival. That win was all the more meritorious as she was thought to be short of full fitness having suffered a stress fracture and had to stand in her box for two months. She was subsequently beaten in a Flat maiden at Roscommon but the winner, Startedwithakiss, followed up in a Leopardstown handicap. Chautuaqua won a Clonmel bumper in decisive fashion earlier this year while Ginnets Girl also won a bumper at Sligo last month and should progress from her hurdle debut behind better fancied stablemate Nonbinding at Navan just over a fortnight ago.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 11st 6lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 7lbs
