Verdict
MUTADAFFEQ, four times a winner on the Flat, has run very well on his last two starts over timber and today's conditions look ideal. He looks the one to be on though De Mazzaro was only just behind him at Limerick and can also go well. Buttons And Bows beat a huge field of maidens over the track and trip in November and bounced back to form at Leopardstown last month while Fly De Megaudais beat a well handicapped rival at Ballinrobe and is only 5lb higher. Bothar Dubh fell on his debut over fences at Clonmel but his earlier victory on that track gives in a chance here despite a 9lb rise. Still Alive has won twice since December though wouldn't want the ground to dry out but Voices Of Spring is on a long losing run and isn't getting any closer.
