Verdict
Stormy Jenn had been running well on the Flat before beaten almost nine lengths on her hurdling debut at Roscommon where a couple of late mistakes didn't aid her cause. Clifftop was having his 10th start over timber when fourth over 2m4f at the latter meeting while winning point-to-pointer and bumper Extrapolation has run poorly the last twice. Scott Lang's third at Punchestown puts him in the frame while Gordon Elliott looks certain to find a race for Gino Drummer Boy soon after another good run at Downpatrick. SIMPLETWISTOFFAITH showed some potential last year and reappeared last month with a fine debut for new connections at Kilbeggan, form that could prove good enough for this.
