In depth

Verdict

American Flyer came in for a bit of support when battling to victory at Clonmel last week and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run though Roisin Dubh, who wasn't far behind in fourth, has every chance of reversing the form as that was her first start since September. Definite All Star was also last seen in the same month when landing a chase at Perth from a higher mark than today's while Rawnaq wasn't beaten far in a better race at Punchestown and looks a threat to all. NEVER A SECRET gained her only success over hurdles on this track and returned with a fine run behind Wither Hills a fortnight ago so is handed the vote to go one better.
