        Verdict

        Curramore showed little in his first two starts for Charles Byrnes but attracted support at Sligo in August and did the business. He's moved stables and has a penalty to carry as does LILY'S GEM for her impressive victory at Carlisle in April. Stuart Crawford's mare hasn't run subsequently but should be ready and this shouldn't take too much winning. Holme Abbey ran reasonably well on heavy ground here in November and will improve but Looks Like Murt should do better when facing a set of obstacles.
