Mossy Island's third at Downpatrick in August was his first placed effort in eight starts while Mossman Park hasn't won over timber for well over four years. Pippa Rose has yet to be placed in eleven career starts which is why she's at the bottom of this poor handicap and Graney Town is yet another who hasn't troubled the judge in nine starts under Rules. Serra Nova has won once in 26 starts so a chance is taken on ASITHAPPENS. Liam Casey's charge showed signs of ability over hurdles last year and arrives here on the back of a very easy victory in a point-to-point at Rathcannon.
