In depth

Verdict

Aidan O'Brien is trying his best to get a race out of BEACH OF FALESA, who was caught in the dying strides by Call Me Bubbles at Roscommon on Monday when looking all over the winner inside the final furlong. She was conceding the winner 15lb and most certainly wasn't given a hard time so compensation awaits if she's allowed to take her chance. Shake The Bucket has won over hurdles but only on Polytrack on the Flat while the very useful hurdler Redera may find this trip on the short side. Citizenship, a very progressive hurdler who won the lucrative Boylesports here in January, is another who will do better over further and he could just need this having been absent since the Punchestown Festival.
