Verdict
The Halford/Collins yard is in excellent form and Tarnova made a big impression at Punchestown. Roedora has won twice at Down Royal but had to battle last time though was conceding the winner 12lb. Winning point-to-pointer Only By Night made most for an easy victory at Limerick but all eyes here will be on QUALIMITA, who went for an astonishing £500,000 at the Goffs Punchestown Sales after scoring on the Fairyhouse point-to-point course by 30 lengths.
