Verdict

Ross O'Sullivan is having a good run and Volantis was having only his second start over timber when comfortably landing a Fairyhouse maiden. Twice placed on good going in bumpers he'll have no problems with the conditions. Digby hasn't been seen since falling in a lucrative handicap at the Galway Festival in July but his earlier form puts him right in the picture. THE BIG CHAP, a winner on good ground at Limerick last summer, has returned after a break in fine shape having scored over the minimum at Kilbeggan before a close third over 2m3f at Killarney. He can get back on the winning trail though Bravo Team won over the trip last summer and only got as far as the first on his reappearance ten days ago when impeded by a faller.
