Verdict
More Info landed a Clonmel bumper for which she's penalised then was well beaten in a Gowran Listed bumper. Beth Horan looked a certain future winner when placed in bumpers at Naas and Punchestown but disappointed on her final start at Down Royal in March though her pedigree suggests she can do better over jumps. CALL THE FAIRIES had shown potential at huge odds in a Ballinrobe maiden before chasing home Karen's Gift at Roscommon and wouldn't need to improve much to go one better. It's difficult to work up enthusiasm for the remainder but Some Joke is worth a market check.
