In depth

Verdict

Miss Fourie was a winner at Limerick in April and gave a fair account of herself when upped in grade at Punchestown. Dreamz shaped well in three starts last year and is tried in a tongue strap for the first time but THE LAST MARDI has put up two very solid efforts in bumpers and kept on well to win a Ballinrobe event against a useful inmate from the Willie Mullins stable. Single Edition won a bumper over track and trip last month and is another to consider.
