FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A promising third on her racecourse debut at Ballinrobe last month, HIGH NOTIONS can open her account. Despite her inexperience, the five-year-old stayed on nicely from the penultimate flight to reach the frame. With a couple of those in behind boasting triple figure ratings, the form of that particular race looks quite strong for the grade. Faced with an easier assignment here, the Sonny Carey trained mare has every chance. Point-to-point winner Whitewinewednesday shouldn't be far away. Already placed twice over hurdles, the six-year-old picked up crucial handicap experience last time at Navan. Apples Jane needs to improve but this well-bred four-year-old could be suited to hurdling.
