In depth

Verdict

A winner over hurdles at Thurles, I'M ALL YOU NEED looks to have every chance if taking to the larger obstacles. Paul Nolan's charge is preferred to maiden hurdle winner Padraig's Joy, though she should be sharper for a recent reappearance at Clonmel. Teresa Lisbon has a shout on her second at Cork in October while bumper and hurdles winner What Lies Ahead is another to consider. Putrakin fell on her chasing bow at Kilbeggan and Bell's Cross was well beaten on her previous start over fences but Give Her Bach could go well now fencing after a second over hurdles at Tipperary.
