Verdict
SARAH JOYCE showed her first sign of form over timber when chasing home Rise Of An Empire over 2m5f at Downpatrick and, as there should be more to come from the dual Flat winner, she gets the nod in a tricky opener. Tranquil Magic won a point-to-point at the beginning of the month and Colin Bowe has a good record with similar types while Maud Gonne is the type to improve from her debut on very testing ground at Ballinrobe. Barrow Valley ran well in a Thurles bumper in February and that should have put her straight for this while Goodthynemilan has scored between the flags and didn't perform badly in a Cork bumper in March. Belle Fortune found three miles taxing her stamina at Tipperary after a decent run over this trip at Fairyhouse and may provide the main threat.
