In depth
Verdict
Ballydunblaze won a bumper here in September but hasn't done as well as expected over timber so far. KERRY STAR has an outstanding pedigree for jumping so the fact that she was able to win a Clonmel bumper is a real bonus and she looks to have been found a reasonably simple start over timber. Patriciadplasterer has to be a threat after a fine run in a big field of maiden at Punchestown where she was staying on strongly at the finish. City Ballerina wasn't far behind in that latter event though looked to have had every chance while Lets Go Again has shown potential in bumpers. Karannelle didn't win on the Flat but looks the type to do well over obstacles and her yard remain in top form.
