FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Bumper and point-to-point winner BORN BELIEVING(1) can add a hurdle win to her CV. The Claire O'Connell-trained mare shaped with a degree of promise when fifth on her recent hurdling debut at Roscommon. Entitled to come on from that experience, the home-bred daughter of Court Cave will be primed for a big run at her local track. La Muleta ran a solid race on her hurdling debut when third at Kilbeggan last month and Philip Rothwell's charge has to enter calculations, while Everyday Life has also shown some ability.
