Verdict

Sainte Careigne, who is out of a winning French hurdler, attracted support on her debut at Roscommon but could only stay on at one pace. She should have come on for the experience but may do better when sent over jumps and HENRO BOY looks the one to be on. Michael O'Hare's charge is related to several winners and he ran very well when sixth behind Fort Defiance in a much stronger race at Galway last time. Ted Walsh's newcomer Molly Platts is one to keep an eye on but recent point-to-point winners Smokey Joe Joe and Maggie Sue will probably find this on the sharp side.
