Verdict
Fresh By Nature won twice over hurdles and was in front when falling four out on her chasing debut at Wexford a fortnight ago. Shershewill made a promising start over fences at Downpatrick in October but has been outclassed in better company subsequently. Dual point-to-point winner Waltz Legend has shown the occasional glimmer of ability over the bigger obstacles while Winnie Cooper ran the useful hunter Windy Millie close between the flags last month and was placed twice on fast ground over fences last summer. Tony Martin has acquired TWENTY FOUR YEARS from the point-to-point field, where she scored easily at Loughanmore under today's rider earlier this month. This shouldn't take too much winning and she's taken to get off the mark.
