FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A full-sister to a five-time winner over hurdles, HEY SUNSHINE catches the eye on racecourse debut. Although her sibling failed to win from four attempts in a bumper, the Willie Mullins trained mare is likely to be more forward coming from this stable. With Jody Townend being one of the more experienced jockeys in the line-up, there is much to recommend the five-year-old. The highly consistent Amanha has been placed on four of her five starts to date. Runner-up on her latest two, the Dermot McLoughlin-trained mare will surely get her turn at some point. Former Flame kept on late when finishing second on her racecourse debut at Limerick in May. Liz Doyle's four-year-old should be all the better for that experience.
