FormscanBy Alan Magee - KORINTHIA appeared to have plenty in hand when winning two bumpers last year and successfully switched to hurdles on her reappearance in a Ballinrobe mares maiden this autumn. The daughter of Jukebox Jury was Grade 3 placed last time at Down Royal and gets the vote to regain the winning thread. Salsinha made an impressive debut in a Cork bumper this summer and kept on well into fourth behind Flashaway in a 22-runner maiden hurdle at Navan last month, while Queenofthelodge has progressed well in handicaps winning three times this year and certainly won’t lack for experience. Galway maiden winner Amen Again and dual bumper scorer Samba Train are others to note.
