In depth

Verdict

Ted Dolly made a fine debut over timber behind Letter Of Credit at Galway and has since run a very good race on the Flat at Leopardstown. He looks a decent prospect and just holds The Ethiopian on that Galway run though the latter should be suited by today's slightly quicker ground. Winning bumper CEOL RUA made a very promising return to action at Punchestown when a close third to Make Track and Reizovic. The winner has since run a fine race in better company and the third has won so the form looks strong enough for Willie Mullins' mare to gain her first success over timber. Galianna won four times on the Flat and was in very good form over hurdles at this time a year ago but a long absence may just count against her here. Headford Lady has been running in good company on the Flat and can do much better than she showed on her hurdling debut in June of last year.
