Progressive runner SAINTE TARTARE (8) caught the eye during January scoring by 21L a 2m mares maiden hurdle at Limerick (Ireland). Ticks plenty of boxes on paper. Leading contender. THE GREAT NUDIE (11) finished second attempting this Listed level over 2m at Punchestown before a Limerick sixth tackling a higher grade. Big chance. SPECULATRIX (10) represents another Irish yard. The mare won a Wexford 2m maiden hurdle a month ago and is of interest up in standard. METKAYINA (6) managed a decent fifth in the 2m1f G2 Dawn Run Mares Novices Hurdle at the Festival here last month. Not to be discounted.
