Verdict

Medical Card set a slow pace in a Grade 2 at Naas last month and eventually held off the challenge of CRASH with Four Commanders around 4l back in fourth. The winner now has a penalty and the runner-up should reverse the form and take this. Berties Dream was just touched off by Start Me Up over this C&D in December but showed the benefit of that run with a demolition job at Thurles last month. He can reverse the form with Charlie Swan's charge who needs a very strong gallop. Quietly Fancied went close behind Crash at Punchestown in December and is 5lb better off but he ran so badly at Thurles last time that he's best watched for now.
