      Verdict

      MAIRE BANRIGH won twice over hurdles last year following wind surgery. She is making her debut over fences under a welter burden and has an absence to overcome but will doubtless have had plenty of schooling and is unlikely to fail through lack of fitness. Song Of The Sky has the more recent form and has placed twice over fences, as has Flight To Milan. Strictlyadancer makes most appeal of the remainder ahead of Rizzardo and Wenceslaus.
