Verdict

Youcantcallherthat twice finished a long way behind Dinaria Des Obeaux earlier this year but turned the tables in a Group 2 at Limerick in March. The runner-up looked to have every chance and was staying on so a 4lb pull could be enough to reverse the positions. However, both finished behind ASTHURIA when Willie Mullins' mare was runner-up to stable companion Benie Des Dieux over the minimum at Naas in February. That was only the selection's third start over fences and she looks the one to be on. Magic Of Light has finished behind the former pair on several occasions this campaign and looks held, as does West Bridge.
