Verdict
Captain McGinley has already been beaten three times in bumpers but is getting closer. Rebecca Curtis' charge is easily the best of those with previous experience under Rules but ex-pointer BALLYWILLIAM looks a big danger. He was just beaten between the flags at Grennan in November and is likely to have made further progress since joining the Pipe stable. Far From Defeat has also finished second between the flags lately and makes most appeal of the remainder.
