Verdict

Annamatopoeia has competed at a higher level than this but was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Roscommon and looks exposed. Winning point-to-pointer Waltz Legend has now had 22 starts over regulation fences without winning and Stuart Crawford's point-to-pointers Indy Island and Legacy Phoenix look nothing special. More Than Ever makes her debut over the bigger obstacles having won over timber at Tramore last month so she's respected but it's another chasing newcomer, DUCKWEED, who gets the vote as she's won between the flags and was in good form over timber last summer.
