In depth

Verdict

TELLTHEMNUTTIN won at Downpatrick a year ago and has since scored four times at Wexford, including from 7lb lower earlier this month. She's crept up to a high mark and this is no easy task but she can complete a double. Whizzey Rascal completed a quick double when sent to the UK in January and was tackling Listed company when well beaten at Warwick while Presenting Mahler had been chasing before reverting to hurdles at Clonmel where she ran better than her final position suggests. Face Value has won his share of races though is better on the Flat.
