Verdict
Citizen's Army produced a very game performance to score at Sligo and wasn't disgraced in a better race at Listowel. Well Joey, four-times a winner over fences, is 0-19 over hurdles and though running well has been beaten off lower marks recently. Will You Win is also a maiden though ran quite well on her handicap debut at Gowran and should be winning soon. Monoxide was in the process of running a big race when falling two out at Clonmel while Ask The Leader gained his only victory over slightly shorter here in August. It's a year since HOPEFULLY gained her only success at Tramore but she's 7lb lower and ran well enough at Gowran last week to suggest she can double her winning tally.
