      Verdict

      Goaheadwiththeplan ran respectably returning from a break at Warwick whereas FORTUNATE FRED is having a first run since December. But the latter has been showing ability and may have more scope than Irish import Belles Benefit, who is now 0-14. Gata Ban won a maiden point at Ballingarry last month and wouldn’t need to be anything special to make an impact on his debut under Rules.
