FormscanBy Michael Graham - KEEP UP could make a winning transition to hurdling. She was a comfortable winner of a bumper at Roscommon last summer and then was deemed good enough to contest a Listed mares' bumper at Gowran Park in which she finished fifth. Willie Mullins and jockey Sean Cleary-Farrell teamed up to land this race last year. Gordon Elliott runs two horses with Fillusin reappearing after a campaign that saw her placed in four maiden hurdles, while newcomer Milesfromthehonk is a full-sister to a double winner over fences. Regards To Rose has been placed in her last two maiden hurdles and is race fit, so has stronger claims than most of her rivals. Point-to-point winner Kilrush Lady is worth a market check.
