In depth

Verdict

Jamie Codd attempted to make all on BRELADE at Galway and shook off all bar the favourite Moulin A Vent with the remainder in another parish. He should go one better though the winner is trained by Noel Meade, who has Up The Town engaged here. He looked in need of experience when third at Punchestown and should have come on enough to make a challenge. Mind's Eye started odds-on for a point-to-point in February but didn't appear to enjoy the testing ground and should do better while Winter Time, who is out of a winning bumper, could do best of the newcomers.
