Verdict
This looks a poor maiden and GALE AT SEA wouldn't need to be special to make a successful debut under Rules. Paul Nolan's mare was well supported for a point at Toomebridge in October and her supporters hardly had a moment's concern. Champagne Diva has only shown moderate form in bumpers but her pedigree is all about jumping as is that of Moyode Gold, who fell at the second on her hurdling debut here on New Year's Day. Indian Eye's best run on the Flat came on heavy ground at Limerick though she's rated 43, which is the lowest of the low, but Arbor Vitae has shown a little bit of potential and could get into contention.
