Verdict
SHES FLAT TOTHEMAT carries a big weight courtesy of winning two of her last four last summer but Simon Torrens' claim is a bonus and she can return to winning ways. Dual hurdles winner Thisonesforollie has yet to reach a place over fences but might have won at Thurles in November but for falling 2 out. Carried, four-times a winner on the all-weather, has run a total of 27 times on Turf and never won while Cluan Dara hasn't done enough over fences to merit consideration.
