In depth
Verdict
Felicidad has run in much stronger company since landing a Listowel maiden over 2m4f though that was on good ground. MT LEINSTER GOLD completed a hat-trick between the flags then jumped like an old hand to land a mares' maiden over timber at Fairyhouse where she made all. She's entitled to improve for the run and Jordan Gainford's claim is a major plus against these better rivals. Yukon Lil is reverting to hurdles after four runs over fences, the first which she won at Cork in November. She led for a long way in a Listed chase at Naas won by her odds-on stable companion Elimay last month and is an obvious threat. The remainder make no appeal.
