Verdict

It's a surprise to see TORRENT DES MOTTES in a bumper after a promising run over hurdles at Tramore but Willie Mullins must believe he has the pace for this and he should go one better. The mare Penny Jane put a moderate debut behind her to run very well behind Half The Odds at Fairyhouse and looks certain to make further progress while Frankiefiveangels is another racing in a bumper for the first time after a very encouraging start over hurdles at Navan. Cluan Dara has been well beaten into second on his two latest starts.
