Verdict

Poker Party only had two runs on the Flat but showed real promise when runner-up at Navan in October and his pedigree is all about jumping. LETTRE DE CACHET was competing at a very high level in 2015 but didn't reappear until October where she was narrowly beaten by Kalopsia at Galway. The winner has won a couple of races subsequently so Noel Meade's mare can start making up for lost time. Knockraha Boss has been alternating between hurdles and fences but continues to frustrate having run 18 times under Rules since his point-to-point victory. The remainder look to have it all to do to get involved.
