Verdict
The veteran Capture The Drama won for the tenth time when easily beating today's rival Fly De Megaudais over 2m here and again ran well over a mile further at Fairyhouse last week. Early Arrival was well supported over 2m2f at Thurles a couple of weeks ago but weakened from the last and will need to do much better. WOMALKO (NAP) landed a handicap hurdle at Limerick in December for Robert Tyner and arrives here on a 21lb lower mark over fences which his new trainer is expected to exploit.
