Verdict

Rory Anna pulled up on her hurdling debut but has won twice since though beating two rivals at Limerick last time isn't the same as carrying a big weight in a tough handicap such as this. Kylebeg Krystle had been chasing before reverting to hurdles on a very fair mark and beating today's rival Ring Street Roller at Cork. A 6lb rise makes this more difficult while another who has been chasing, Cool Quest, has won just once over timber in 14 starts. Special Token beat Second Glance a neck at Cork last April but the runner-up should take her revenge on these terms. JEUNOPSE is still a maiden but has been performing with credit in handicaps where she has been staying on over the minimum trip. The soft ground will play to her strengths and she can get off the mark over timber. Coscorrig ran very well behind Turner Brown at Punchestown and is another with a chance in an open contest.
