Verdict

Henry De Bromhead complicates this with three entries but Rachael Blackmore has chosen MORMON and it isn't difficult to see why. Her mount was impressive when beating stable companion Insult, who runs earlier, in a Tramore maiden and third-placed Moratorium has since completed a double to enhance the form. Brosna George has been in cracking form all winter with three victories to his credit. He's taking a leap in class with an 11lb hike in the ratings but should still get into contention. The selection's stable companion Plan Of Attack is also on a hat-trick though looks to have more to do in this stronger company while Its All Guesswork has been chasing and may find a few of these too quick on the prevailing ground.
