In depth

Verdict

Miss Nomer ran well enough behind Nodelay at Downpatrick to be given a chance but Back In A Tic was beaten a long way behind House Rules at Listowel. Got Options has some strong form to her credit and her only poor run came when tried over 2m4f at Roscommon last time. Blackwitch Woman is an interesting newcomer to hurdling and can go well but SILVER CHIEF looks the one to be on as she ran very well when runner-up to Popcorn over timber at Thurles in March and a recent second in a Tramore bumper should have put her spot-on for this.
