Verdict
Little King Robin has won four times over timber and, though easily brushed aside by the promising Alton Bay at Tramore, will take some beating. However, her penalties could hand the initiative to the four-year-old MORGA, who has been running in Pattern race company on the Flat and won two of her three starts over timber. Ballychorus won a bumper and a maiden hurdle before a good effort in a Galway handicap so she's no forlorn hope while Fourni found 2m4f too far at Limerick and is better judged on her surprise victory at Punchestown in May.
