Verdict
Ask And Answer's form is on testing ground though his latest run was over fences. Appian Way is 0-22 but stays extreme distances and will enjoy the conditions. STOLEN MOMENT (NAP) suffered in the weights after scoring easily at Ballinrobe last May but has steadily dropped to a winnable mark and ran her best subsequent race at Limerick last month. Something Sweet doesn't win often but is generally consistent which is why she's only dropping slowly in the ratings. Beechroad Winnie has yet to reach a place in eight starts but ran her best race to date at Tramore last time.
