Verdict

SYNOPSIS’ latest victory came over fences but he was successful over the smaller obstacles at Punchestown in November. He just gets the vote though there is very little to choose between this quintet according to the handicapper. Brave Out would probably prefer a bit further but won a handicap at Wexford eight days ago. Game Of War made much of the running before falling last time at Navan and Hey Little Boy suffered a similar fate at Thurles last month. Katie Walsh won on Oscars Den at Navan in November but the senior runner in this disappointed when last seen at Fairyhouse.
