In depth

Verdict

With her yard in top form, Edna can build on her debut run at Cork with the longer trip certain to be in her favour. She should get into contention though the vote goes to FIVEAFTERMIDNIGHT. Paul Rothwell's mare was making her debut over timber when a close fourth at Downpatrick last month and will have come on markedly for the experience. Turanga Lilly has only shown moderate form but should be thereabouts in a poor contest in which Harry Smiles reverts to hurdles after landing a point at Durrow.
