In depth
Verdict
Flowerpicker showed a bit of promise at Punchestown and she'll improve for the experience as will Shaunas Dream for her run at Limerick. Garron Crest has improved with every run and produced a nice effort behind Silverpockets at Clonmel but Molly's Affair was beaten a long way at Punchestown after earlier promise. SHUIL MILAN is related to several decent winners and Paul Nolan's charge is taken to make a winning start in what looks a moderate affair.
