Verdict

CAVALLINO blundered his way around Tramore in December but still managed to get to the front at the last where another mistake put paid to his chances. He'll need to jump much better here but there's every chance he'll do so and can gain his first success. Envious Editor has looked a likely winner for some time but ran poorly at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day and has questions to answer. Full Time Score has had a couple of bumper runs though hasn't run for almost two years but Johngus very nearly got up at Gowran though that was over 2m4f and he may find this on the short side. Golf Marin looks the type to improve and Mahons Glory has shown ability on a couple of occasions.
