Verdict

Mister Twist landed a Downpatrick maiden over slightly further before finding 3m1f beyond him at Sligo. Henry De Bromhead must believe the four-year-old Como Park is on a fair mark for his handicap debut after just three runs and though Emancipator is a bit hit-and-miss he's 9lb lower than over fences and John Shinnock's claim is a bonus. Happy Dreams was in fine form over hurdles and fences last winter and would be an obvious threat to all if ready after a break. THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT (NAP) has been improving steadily and was clear at this trip when tackling 2m6f at Ballinrobe so looks the one to beat from just a pound higher. Brianna Lily was engaged in the 3.40 at Clonmel yesterday.
