Verdict
The mares Effernock Fizz and Telmesomethinggirl are stepping out of the novice ranks but both are receiving plenty of weight from their rivals. Minx Tiara is more exposed but has only found one too good the last twice. Fils D'oudairies beat Saint Sam at Leopardstown in March but that was over hurdles and Willie Mullins’ charge has since won over the larger obstacles at Tramore. BUSSELTON was highly tried after winning last year’s Kerry National. He clearly didn’t stay in the Irish Grand National last month and this is a more realistic target.
