Verdict
MAHONS GLORY looked certain to make a winning debut at Thurles in March when hitting the front in the straight but was worn down by the well supported Major Robinson. He can go one better though Weseekhimhere got no sort of run when favourite at Roscommon a couple of weeks ago and supporters will be looking for compensation. Boston Brahmin finished fourth in that latter event and should improve while the filly Mighty Meggsie is one to keep an eye on along with Willie Mullins' Zuma Rock. The latter is a half-sister to three winning jumpers and out of a mare who won over 7f on the Flat.
