Verdict

Winning pointer American Touch ran well over 2m4f at Navan on his debut under Rules in March but ran a shocker at Cork next time. Celtic Ruby also has something to prove on her reappearance while All There has disappointed since finishing second at Kilbeggan in August though did finish ahead of Fairyhouse bumper winner King Malik at Wexford last month. It will be interesting to see if there's any interest in Bold Banks following a long lay-off and Tell Dawstown has some scope but TELLHERIMNOTHERE looks to be progressing with experience and probably wouldn't need to find much on her recent third at Thurles to get off the mark here.
