Tony Martin continues his quest to find a race for EASY VIC, whose only victory in 32 starts came in a point-to-point. He's very well handicapped and though his form has been better over hurdles he can't go much lower in the weights and Paul Carberry can steer him to that elusive first success. Down Under won this a year ago but he's 10lb higher and has only occasionally shown that level of form subsequently. Dual winning hurdler Boss Croaker has yet to reach a place over fences and Jim Bowie has been badly out of sorts. Treacy's Star ran her best race so far over fences at Punchestown in January and a similar effort should see her in the action.
