Verdict

Willie Mullins puts 7lb claimer Katie O'Farrell on board Fairy Court, a moderate hurdler making a belated debut over fences. Ruby Walsh is riding Sam King for his father and his mount showed improvement from his opening run over fences when a close fourth over the track and trip. Mic Milano was beaten a long way on his only start over fences but that was in 2013 and he's done much better over timber subsequently. FINDING TOUCH is only four and lightly raced though he landed a Clonmel handicap over hurdles a couple of weeks ago. He has a chasing pedigree and his allowance can see him make a winning start over the bigger obstacles. Show And Go has been making too many mistakes but a clear round would see him in the mix.
