FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DUDEFROMHOUSTON is consistent and seems to be an able mare. A dual point-to-point winner, the selection wasn’t beaten far by Lucy Wang in Ballynoe’s locally-prestigious Gain Mares Final last month, with some of those form lines tying in here. She drops in distance for this bumper but is useful. Both Miss Appleberry and Silent Temptation defeated subsequent hunter chase winner Tiffiny’s Girl to each win their respective maiden point-to-points and should compete. Wilton Mills Trier started favourite when finishing third in a similar Cork bumper recently while Morning Express, One Day In May and Princess Aveen each won usefully in point-to-points recently.
