In depth
Verdict
William Du Berlais is 1-17 over fences and still 8lb higher than his only victory. FINTARA scored over the minimum on just her third start over fences at Wexford and made a very satisfactory handicap debut over this trip on the same track with Crocodile Dundee and Lakemilan not too far behind. She's still on the upgrade and can return to winning ways. Glenwood For Ever was clear when blundering at the last and unseating his rider at Punchestown but that was over 3m and he may find this on the short side.
