FormscanBy Alan Magee - Sligo bumper winner A PENNY A HUNDRED successfully switched to hurdles here in October and has filled the runner-up spot on both outings since in decent company. The selection had Judicieuse Allen about six lengths behind when second to smart stablemate Jade De Grugy in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse last time. Bioluminescence is bred to appreciate this trip and comes here on the back of justifying strong support in a 2m4f Punchestown maiden. Annalecka won a point-to-point and a bumper before making a successful start over hurdles at Punchestown in January but hasn’t progressed in two outings since. Sarah Beara has already gained some black type this season while Millstream Lady has progressed well from a lowly mark to win three handicaps.
