Verdict
Earths Furies has won over the course and distance and only just failed to hold on at Tipperary last month. Everything Now has been racing between the flags but hasn't won for over a year unlike stablemate WALKING THE WALK (NAP), who won at Tramore in December after being placed in his previous four starts. Just touched off over shorter here in December, he can get back on the winning trail. Michael's Pick won a maiden hunter's chase here just over a year ago and ran twice over the banks course at last week's Punchestown Festival.
