Verdict
He's No Molly won a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick in October in a canter then battled to concede 18lb to the runner-up in a novices' event at Cork. He should make a chaser while Kilfenora already has experience of the bigger obstacles though appears to need very testing ground. Sir Carno was in double winning form over hurdles on testing going at the beginning of the year and has made a decent start over fences on ground that would have been too quick so he's an obvious threat though the vote goes to STOWAWAY FOREVER. Patrick Dempsey's grey has improved with every run over fences culminating in a very good third in a Grade B handicap at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago.
