Spinningayarn (G)
FAV
Successful on the first of 2 bumpers starts last year and made an encouraging hurdling debut on return when third of 18 in maiden at Clonmel (19.4f, heavy, 5/4) 30 days ago, beaten by a pair with more experience. Likely to improve.

Gangster Granny (M)
Fairly useful middle-distance performer on the Flat but seemingly in need of experience on both outings over hurdles. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mrs J. Harrington. Looks one for handicaps after this.
