Verdict

Molly Connors started off well over hurdles but didn't progress as expected. She's bred to be a chaser and this could be her game. Carrigeen Kigelia's close second to Our Katie on heavy going over 2m6f here last month would get her into the frame but she didn't jump well on a return visit a fortnight ago. Feenakilmeedy has the potential to do much better but she's been having real problems with her jumping and fell for the third time in five outings here two weeks ago. Shuilamach has been going well over hurdles and will love the conditions as will Kindly Vinnie, who finished runner-up to her at Cork last month, though it's fellow chasing newcomer LOVE ON TOP who gets the vote as she carried top weight to victory on testing ground at Gowran in November and her regular rider's claim is a bonus.
