In depth

Verdict

Crocosmia has had her problems and even managed to unseat her rider on the Flat at Wexford. Her second to Lake Champlain at Gowran last month, when Tudor City was beaten a long way, is the best form on view but she was beaten when falling at Down Royal last Saturday. Overtures also fell in the same race and his overall form is not as strong, so a chance is taken on NEWBERRY NEW. The Jessica Harrington runner failed to win on the Flat but ran well on several occasions and wouldn't need to be a world beater to make a successful hurdling debut.
