Verdict
A trappy contest with AODHAN MAY taken to build on the promise of her latest start when only beaten a head by Wee Small Hours over this trip at Down Royal in January. That run, her third over fences, suggests she has a future over the larger obstacles. Added Bonus has top weight but is one of the few to arrive in form and the only recent scorer in the line-up after a battling Thurles victory. He stays this longer trip and is respected off a 6lb higher mark. Finnians Row finished behind the selection last time but it wasn't a bad run and his runner-up effort at Down Royal previously reads well.
