Verdict
PAIRC NA NGAEL defied numerous mistakes to justify strong support at Thurles in November and though raised 9lb a better round of jumping can see him home. Esthers Marvel was having only her second start over fences when landing a beginners' chase at Kilbeggan while Walking The Walk looked one to follow after two placed efforts last month and can't have been right when well beaten at Downpatrick. Stealthy Tom's second at Punchestown came over the banks fences while Shes Some Doll hasn't made the expected progress from beating Earths Furies four lengths at Tramore.
