In depth

Verdict

Julies Stowaway was beaten in two handicaps off a 2lb lower mark before well supported and landing a Clonmel maiden on good ground. Brogine has won three times on the track though is better handicapped over fences but this looks a good opportunity for IT COULD BE YOU. Tom Mullins' charge, a winner at Clonmel on heavy ground, was staying on strongly in a lucrative conditions' race over an extended 2m4f at Punchestown so won't be inconvenienced by stepping up in trip. Fortune Street ran a fine race over that same track and trip last month while Burlesque Queen scored over timber at Leopardstown in December and on just her second start over fences at Kilbeggan eleven days ago. Oneknightmoreihope has run three excellent races over 2m4f already this month and is greatly respected.
