Verdict
Bold Sky won a point at Tinahely in January and though beaten a long way when runner-up to Samson Bill at Fairyhouse will have found the 2m trip much too short. She's probably capable of better but Dallas Cowboy is well exposed having had ten starts over fences though he didn't run badly in a handicap here last time. DAWN IN THE PARK has some decent form over timber to her credit but the switch to fences can bring about further improvement and she can make a successful start. Artic Pearl looks a threat as he looks a thorough stayer who will have found the minimum on the short side when making his chasing debut at Tramore while El Vasco has shown potential and should be capable of better.
