In depth

Verdict

Mission Possible has been a disappointment since a fine second to Taking Stock at Listowel in September and his jumping has left plenty to be desired. Sorted hasn't shown much to date but is likely to do better over the bigger obstacles while winning point-to-pointer Clever Creation led for a long way before falling in the race won by For Bill at Thurles in January and the shorter trip here should suit. GRACCHUS makes his debut over fences and Noel Meade looks to have found him a winning opportunity. A maiden hurdle winner at Tipperary last summer he's been running with credit on the all-weather this winter and this should prove within his capabilities.
