In depth
Verdict
Bitview Colin gained a surprise victory over 2m here, with Seangoell almost three lengths behind, before a moderate effort at Thurles last week. Lessofdnegativity landed a Tramore handicap in December and was 6lb higher when beaten into second back there last month. Quarry Girl loves heavy ground and produced her best run over fences at Cork last month and has the beating of Be My Dream on that run though THEDANCINGFARRIER finished in front of the pair of them and can go well despite a big weight.
