Verdict

Goaheadmakemyday's only victory over timber came a year ago at Punchestown where she looked suited by soft ground and 2m4f. However, she returned with a very good run over this trip on good going at Gowran in November so looks certain to go well again. LATOYAH OF NORTH was making her handicap debut at Naas earlier this month when just failing to catch Mystique Heights after making up a lot of ground. She's progressing and can go one better though Miss Echrad ran her best race to date when headed on the line by Still Alive at Limerick. Dawn Hoofer, four-times a winner on the Flat, is another making her handicap debut over timber having shown up well in all three starts though she's taking on older horses for the first time. Magen's Moon has shown glimpses of ability and her latest run should be ignored as she lost a lot of ground at the start.
