FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Bumper winner LADY BLUEBIRD has to concede weight to all but one of her rivals but the seven-year-old looks capable of doing just that. The daughter of Retirement Plan showed enough on her recent hurdling debut to suggest she has a future over jumps. In a race where meaningful opposition looks thin on the ground, the Hugh Paul Finegan-trained mare can register a second career success. Cooltubrid Eva was well behind Lady Bluebird last time but is better off at these revised weights. A reproduction of her earlier second placing at Limerick would give her every chance. Dual bumper winner Innatendue struggled in a stronger race last time but should be far more competitive now she reverts to maiden company.
