FormscanBy Tom Weekes - Willie Mullins’ EMERALD ENIGMA makes a belated debut aged six but could be capable. By the same sire as Al Boum Photo, her debut-bumper-winning dam is closely related to high-class Identity Thief and two other smart performers. The Besty Woman has progressed with racing and while well held in two hurdle runs, has bumped into some smart types and finished ahead of a subsequent winner (who finished fifth) in January. Fromjago’stomilan debuts aged six but is well-bred and her trainer has done well with young stock recently while Whizz Bizz is a half-sister to Grade 2-winner Indefatigable. Fascinating Queen is absent since showing ability last July and now encounters heavy ground.
