Verdict
Prospective backers of Energiser will be hoping for a big run from Hoochie Mama in the previous race as Martin Brassil's charge was narrowly beaten by her at Naas before disappointing at Kilbeggan. Winning bumper horse LITTLE RENSNEST had shown little in two starts over hurdles before a fine run behind Headford Flyer at Kilbeggan and there may be more left in the tank. Castle Major ran his best race to date when a close fourth behind Byeforthepresent at Downpatrick and is capable of further progress though a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of Schumpters Lad, a disappointment in a Gowran handicap last time but who had shown plenty of promise previously and is still a relative youngster.
