FormscanBy Michael Graham - SURIN can build upon her recent runner-up finish at Fairyhouse. That was her chasing debut and, although she could make no impression on the winner, she did keep on for second and there should be improvement to come, particularly as she was a Grade 3 winner over hurdles. Gin On Lime has switched to Henry de Bromhead who sends her straight over fences. She was beaten a fair way into third in a rated novice hurdle at Naas in February but, to put that into context, the winner subsequently won a Grade 3 at the Cheltenham Festival. The four-year-old is sure to be well schooled for this assignment. Sapphire Lady is hard to put forward being off since April 2019 and pulled up in her last couple of decent hurdle contests. However, she represents powerful connections and has to be monitored in the market on chasing debut.
