In depth

Verdict

Daisy Chicks might have won this a year ago but for falling though arrived in much better form than she does now. RUDY CATRAIL, a very easy winner at Wexford in September, looked on his way back to form when attempting to make all at Kilbeggan and may be good enough in a tight handicap. Unchago, who finished in front of him that day, looks a threat but the selection may be ridden with more restraint. Give Him Time scored over hurdles last month then found 2m5f too short back over fences at Tramore but Railway Muise is 0-25 and hasn't proved himself over this trip. Oskar High ran poorly in three starts over fences last winter but returned to form over hurdles last month and that should have given him a confidence boost.
