In depth
Verdict
THEPARTYSOVER hasn't won for two years and has only been gradually dropping in the ratings. He showed at Thurles that his time is near and today could be the day. Annakrista is still a maiden over hurdles but couldn't have gone much closer at Down Royal at Christmas, her first-ever start on heavy ground. She should get involved though a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Rebel Cry, who wasn't beaten far behind Lilshane at Fairyhouse - the winner easily followed up at Naas on Saturday. Visible Light was behind Rebel Cry at Fairyhouse but led for a long way and if the ground dries out could hang on for a place. Trainspotting is still a maiden after 15 starts and has been running poorly on the Flat.
