In depth
Verdict
Whatucallher made most until headed close home over 3m2f at Punchestown but was impeded and awarded the race for which she's been raised 7lb. Thousand Tears ran well on his comeback at Cork last week and has been put up 2lb but can race from his old mark. ASK DAVID has been in very good form in minor company, scoring over this trip at Punchestown before a fine run over 3m at Clonmel. He's still on a lowly mark and can get back to winning ways. Western Cowboy is quickly thrust into handicap company after landing a Limerick maiden but, after landing a Downpatrick handicap, Longacre Square ran out on a return visit. Mega Mindy won over fences at Fairyhouse in November and can race from a 14lb lower mark over timber on her return from a long break.
