In depth

Verdict

Jackie Ellis is probably more consistent than the majority of these but PONTIFICATE has every chance of reversing Killarney form in May on 4lb better terms so gets a tentative vote having bounced back from a poor run at Tipperary to finish third at Laytown. It's very difficult to recommend many of the others on recent form apart from the lightly-raced Rapid Eye, who is entitled to improve on her sixth at Gowran. The selection's stablemate Wild Flower could figure if getting a run from her reserve spot.
