In depth
Verdict
As with the opening division there are few with realistic chances. SCHONE AUSSICHT a regular winner on the Flat in Germany, made a bad mistake that put paid to her chances at Thurles though her previous third at Fairyhouse has worked out very well. She looks the one to beat as Darcys Hill didn't shown much between the flags though wouldn't have been suited by running in bumpers. Forgetthesurprise has had plenty of experience though the ground could prove problematic but Hanoi Jane is worth a market check as she's a daughter of Doyen out of a winning hurdler from a smart family and has a promising claimer on board.
