FormscanBy Alan Magee - CHURCHFIELD ANNIE made a pleasing debut when third behind La Cote Fleurie at Tipperary earlier this month. The penny seemed to just drop as she made headway in the closing stages and with the benefit of that run, the Emmet Mullins-trained filly may prove difficult to beat. Susie Lenglen also shaped well recently on debut when beating all bar favourite High Notions in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle, while How’s Ellie represents the champion trainer and market support would be significant for the daughter of Jet Away from the family of the smart Puffin Billy. Alliteration also appeals on pedigree being out of a bumper-winning sister to Irish Grand National hero Niche Market.
