FormscanBy Alan Magee - PARTY DRESS is a rare runner over hurdles for Willie McCreery and she got off the mark when beating Jeaniemacaroney (won since over hurdles) on her reappearance in a 1m1f Tipperary maiden in May. The selection subsequently ran well in a 1m7f Leopardstown handicap and may have more scope for improvement than another hurdle newcomer Yokkell. She’s won five times on the Flat including three victories at Dundalk last winter and has held her form well since on turf. Born In Purple has filled the runner-up spot on all three hurdle starts including when reappearing at Downpatrick while Picture Of You is another to consider.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only, maidens at startingWeights - 4-y-o 11st 4lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 7lbs
