Verdict
Read To Return had four starts over fences at the beginning of the year and was returning from a long break when beaten a neck over hurdles at Roscommon on Monday. CEANNDANA completed a double over timber in July and made a very encouraging chasing bow at Downpatrick last month so looks the one to beat. Winning point-to-pointer Battle Away should be more at home over fences despite completing a hurdles double last summer while Game And Glory, a reasonably consistent performer over timber, makes her chasing debut.
