Verdict

Return To Base hasn't made the expected progress from her victory at Punchestown last May though she showed a bit more dash here last month. Splashing Out had been going well before a poor run at Fairyhouse where she started favourite, as did She's Tobias at Sligo in October where she didn't look suited by soft conditions. Will You Win got off the mark at the 26th time of asking in a Clonmel maiden though that was on heavy ground. THEONEWEDREAMOF is only four and landed a handicap against his own age group at Punchestown in January. He scored on the Flat at Bellewstown last month and can beat older rivals here.
