Verdict
Four Country Roads is hardly consistent and only caught Sanibel Island on the line over 3m at Navan. The latter is much more reliable and a mistake at the last didn't help so he should reverse the form. Winning point-to-pointer O MIO BABBINO had been racing over hurdles before landing a 2m6f handicap over fences at Thurles last week where she was always travelling well. She has a 7lb penalty to contend with but looks progressive and can go in again. Made In The Woods has been in very good form in testing conditions though keeps going up the weights without winning. He holds Highstreetfashion on their latest run at Fairyhouse while Crowsatedappletart fell on his only start over fences on this track. Full Noise is one to note in the market.
