Knocklayde Euro is still a maiden over fences but was in the lead when falling at the second last at Down Royal last time. Hidden Present made all and jumped his rivals silly at Limerick last month and would be an obvious threat in the same form, though a 7lb rise puts him on his highest ever mark. Winning point-to-pointer Failed The Test showed her first sign of form under Rules when sent to Warwick last month but it's about time ANDREA'S ANSWER was losing her maiden tag and this looks a good opportunity after she followed a fine run at Punchestown by falling when disputing the lead at the last at Thurles a month ago.
