Verdict
Rough Terain was heavily supported for a Naas handicap in February but was beaten when falling at the last. Son Of Hypnos went up 6lb for scoring over 2m here and led for a long way in a much better race at Limerick when PERRY OWENS finished third. The latter, a winner here last October, had run well over 2m5f here previously and looks the one to beat. Punters Poet has a decent pull in the weights after beaten just over three lengths by Son Of Hypnos on this track while Fancy A Cosmo has been improving with every run in maidens and makes his handicap debut. Pour Pavore's Wexford victory was gained in heavy conditions while Present Road was a 40/1 chance when landing a Tipperary maiden over slightly further.
