In depth

Verdict

Moyross won a point-to-point on heavy ground and, though doing well enough in bumpers, jumping has always been his target and he should be at home in the conditions. Creadan Grae has been gradually improving and made Bosco Di Alco pull out all the stops at Down Royal, though he was withdrawn at Listowel last weekend when the going became too heavy. The Rap Queen showed potential at Kilbeggan and should make further progress but Riverrainshine hasn't improved since finishing second at Limerick in July. SUNCROFT followed a close second in a Killarney bumper by landing a similar contest at Wexford where he had a bit more in hand than the official margin suggests. His pedigree is all about jumping and he can make a winning debut over timber.
