Promise in maiden hurdle starts and behind some decent sorts in bumpers; good chance

Bumper winner and promising maiden runs; her consistency may yet be rewarded
1	Atomic Queen b J:Sam Ewing T:Peter Fahey	J:Sam Ewing T:Peter Fahey	161	—	0-120	-	110	57	30d	—	—	-12	5	4/1 20%
Bumper winner and good second following that; needs to step up on poor hurdles debut
8	Penny Perfect ch J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	J:Danny Gilligan T:Gordon Elliott	150	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.1	12/1 8%
Half-sister to four winners; worth a market check on debut with yard running one other
7	Lightning Legs b J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	J:Jordan Gainford T:Gordon Elliott	150	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-6	2.2	18/1 5%
Can't be ruled out coming from this outfit but Flat form to date has few positives
9	Whispering Willow b J:Jack G Gilligan(5) T:Paul John Gilligan	J:Jack G Gilligan(5) T:Paul John Gilligan	150	—	PF-3U8	-	-	-	8d	—	—	-3	1.2	20/1 5%
One completed point from four; behind in bumper latest; others more appealing
3	Boldplay ch J:Mr R Guiney(7) T:Paul Traynor	J:Mr R Guiney(7) T:Paul Traynor	153	—	7-9	-	-	-	93d	—	—	-1	0.4	66/1 1%
Not much of note in her two bumper runs; makes stable debut but hard to fancy
6	George's Angel b J:Ivan Ryan(7) T:R K Watson	J:Ivan Ryan(7) T:R K Watson	150	—	00	-	52	-	27d	—	—	-1	0.2	300/1 0%
Tailed off on bumper debut and the same here over hurdles last time; ruled out
NR	Chasing Crowns b J:Harry Sexton(7) T:E Sheehy	J:Harry Sexton(7) T:E Sheehy	153	—	PPP-85	-	-	52	2d	—	—	—	0	—
Pulled up in all four point starts; tailed off on rules debut; would be a shock winner
