In depth

Verdict

Barry O'Neill, who rode his 500th point-to-point winner last month, is the most experienced rider here and should ensure Sidetracked, whom he rode to victory at Lisronagh in November, gets into contention. He was also on board when Kiera Royale won at Dromohane in November so presumably had the pick. Summons To Court easily won a point in October though hasn't done quite as well subsequently but MYRONS looks an improving type as he scored at Turtulla in November before a very good run in a better race at Tattersalls Farm.
