In depth

Verdict

Thatbeatsbanagher scored over fences before completing a double over timber at Tramore, both over 2m5f, before finding 2m2f too short at Sligo. He's having his first start over a trip this far but should be suited. MINELLA AWAY stepped up to this trip for the first time under Rules when just failing to hold off The Reaping Race, who was receiving 8lb, at Tipperary. That was his handicap debut and with further progress likely he can go one better. Mossy White has been looking high in the weights since scoring at Thurles in November while Mary Of De Sorrows ran poorly at Ballinrobe last time. She had earlier failed by 4 lengths to contain James Boru at Downpatrick but should get closer on the revised terms.
