Verdict

The Very Man battled on strongly to beat stable companion Recent Revelations at Roscommon, earning a double penalty in the process. He'll be better suited by today's conditions and will be difficult to beat. GETAWAY GORGEOUS will be receiving 10lb and scored on heavy going at Wexford from My Midnight, who has won easily subsequently. Willie Mullins' mare just gets the nod though With A Start was very impressive at Gowran. Telmesomethinggirl beat a subsequent winner by 14 lengths at Roscommon and Grange Walk was headed right on the line on his hurdling debut at Kilbeggan.
