In depth
Verdict
Popmurphy, a useful performer on the Flat, had some decent form over timber at this trip before finding 2m4f too far at Sligo in August. Bawntameena has shown promise and did well to finish fourth in a very strong Thurles maiden last time. Winning point-to-pointer ENJOY RESPONSIBLY made a very encouraging debut over hurdles behind Sizing Tennessee at Navan and can take this before going on to better things. Davinia's Tip has to be a threat as she won a point by a distance in November before a very good effort behind Sunday Serenade on her hurdles debut here last month. Pacelli Road has been going well at Dundalk recently and had some decent form over hurdles last season.
