In depth

Verdict

GOLDEN SUNSET hasn't run since landing a handicap over fences at Downpatrick almost a year ago. He can revert to hurdles on a 15lb lower mark and gets the nod in a poor contest. Three-times winning hurdler Ballymadun dropped to a lowly mark before running much better at Thurles and should get into the action in that form while Ellaat ran well for a 100/1 chance here in November. Lisavalley Lass hails from a yard in form and has bits and pieces of form that put her in the picture while Boogily Lane looked a certain future winner when just touched off at Navan in December but has run poorly in subsequent starts.
