      Verdict

      CAILIN ANNAMH has much the best recent form of these. A winner at Limerick before going close again at Punchestown, Jessica Harrington's charge is the one to beat in the closing event. Midnight Game found only one too good on a trip to Perth last time but Highbrow Blue looks a bigger danger given he scored at Wexford on his only previous start over fences and goes chasing for the first time since. Froggy and See It As It Is are hard to fancy on what little they've shown of late.
