Verdict
Rosie Alice hasn't been in the best of form on testing ground over the winter but she has some strong form in the book over hurdles and fences and a market move would have to be noted. Damut makes a quick reappearance after making a successful debut for Mick Winters at Limerick where he made all and stayed on very gamely. He's only gone up 2l so has to be respected under the in-form Donal McInemey. Peoples Park hasn't won for a while but has been struggling in testing conditions in stronger company and is better than his form figures suggest. Draycott Place is on a long losing run and the assessor isn't really loosening his grip but CROCODILE DUNDEE still looks on a fair mark. Tom Cooper's charge was in good form last summer and completed a double over hurdles and fences before returning after a long break to chase home Capture The Drama at Tipperary. Usa is generally consistent and is slowly dropping to a winnable mark.
