Verdict
Holiday In Kerry has won over hurdles here but has only had two runs over fences and his stable may have a better chance with My Friend The Wind, beaten just a neck at Galway in October. LIZRONA hadn't shown much before making a successful handicap debut over fences at Thurles where her stamina came into play. Today's testing conditions should prove ideal and she can complete a quick double. Ballyadam Destiny comfortably landed a handicap over timber at Galway but has failed to make progress after a very promising debut over fences. Winning hurdler Fierami has had the requisite three runs for a handicap mark and could be well in here.
