Verdict
Gordon Elliott and Paul Carberry can team up with a victory here from RIVERSCAPE, who is now on a handicap mark of 104 after a couple of fine efforts recently at Sligo and Ballinrobe. Queen Of Hardship hadn't shown much until a cracking performance in a huge field at Punchestown last month and with normal improvement she can make her presence felt. Equation is penalised for beating Royal Crew at Sligo but that was a very impressive success and it would be no great surprise to see her completing a double. Hepahepa Naeney hasn't been seen since falling when challenging for the lead at Downpatrick in December and she is untested on fast going.
