    Verdict

    Very little to go on here but MEGALOMANIAC showed more dash when attempting to make all at Wexford and only fading from the last. He'll be difficult to catch against this opposition and can get off the mark. Lady V makes her hurdling bow after improving with each run in bumpers but Noureev looks as though he needs further. Gracious Gamble has had no luck since a fair run over slightly further here in January and looks best of the remainder.
