    Race Analysis

    THE PASSING WIFE (13) enhanced a consistent profile last two outings securing a 9L victory in a 2m3f course maiden hurdle before a solid 1. 75L third at the Cheltenham Festival in the G1 Spa Novices Hurdle tackling this trip. Leading contender. DOCTOR STEINBERG (1) represents a top stable. Completed a hat-trick gaining an impressive 8L success in the 2m6f G1 Golden Cygnet Novice Hurdle at Leopardstown two starts ago. Main danger. FRUIT DE MER (5) produced an excellent 1. 5L second attempting the aforementioned 3m G1 Spa Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Big claims. ZANOOSH (14) bids for a six-timer after a 1. 75L triumph contesting the G1 Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle trying 2m4f at Fairyhouse. Every chance.
