Verdict

MEL MONROE, an easy point-to-point winner, was a bit disappointing on her hurdling bow at Down Royal in December but should have much more to offer. Angelsworknovrtime is usually thereabouts without winning while Littel Flour ran poorly at Wexford and has had plenty of chances. Winning Mischief ran easily her best race to date at Wexford and wouldn't need much more but Howaya C D And E has been carrying a penalty for her bumper success on this card last year.
