In depth

Verdict

CARRIGMOORNA QUEEN had no answer to the odds-on Harmonya Maker at Punchestown on New Year's Eve but it still looks the best on offer. Lady Of The Vale didn't show much on her debut but made great strides to finish second at Clonmel and further progress should see her in contention. Balum wasn't too far behind in that latter event and is another likely to improve while Derek O'Connor's presence enhances the claims of point-to-pointer Our Girl Sal.
