In depth
Verdict
The Diary Keeper won over 2m3f here in October but has never proved she stays this far. Tangental's Fairyhouse victory, where he had Memory Of Youth well beaten, came over 2m4f and he wasn't suited by dropping back in trip at Clonmel. Get Home has now had a dozen starts over timber without winning and pulled up the only time she raced over this trip under Rules. Courting Vickie dropped back to 2m3f at Limerick last time to run her best race for a while but SHORT STORY LONG would have a chance second to none if ready following her close second over 3m1f at Kilbeggan in October. Dual hurdles winner Ask David has yet to prove he stays this far.
