Verdict
Very little to go on here and the market could provide a good guide. Winning point-to-pointer Railway Hurricane will be better for last month's run at Limerick while Tribal Story ran well for a long way at the same meeting. COUSIN HARRY dropped back to this trip in a Bellewstown handicap last month and was in contention when making a mistake at the last. He could be good enough back in maiden company though a better round of jumping would see Samba Dancer, who made too many mistakes at Roscommon, mount a serious challenge. It Takes Time reappeared after a long break with a fair run at Ballinrobe though that was over 2m6f.
