Verdict

Willie Mullins has pitched the four-year-old filly Gelee Blanche in against older horses in previous starts and she's run very well without quite getting there. Moonshot has shown plenty of potential though could need slightly further, a remark that could also apply to the once-raced New Ross, who returns after a break. Feelgood Island was in the lead when falling two out at Clonmel and should be thereabouts if unaffected by the mishap but Dedanann is 0-14 over hurdles and didn't run well at Punchestown last time. VINTAGE PROSSECO was a long way clear when falling at Ballindenisk in December though too far out to draw a conclusion. He made most to land a Limerick bumper on testing ground last month and can make a successful hurdling bow.
