Verdict

It'sallabouteve likes it here having won a bumper and a maiden hurdle on the track and will enjoy the conditions. Hard Rain has been racing over much longer trips since scoring over 2m1f here in the summer and a 9lb rise makes this tougher. Cosmic Rock hasn't been seen since scoring at Listowel over two years ago but won here on heavy ground after a long break earlier that year. DERRIDAE was in good form last winter and has won around here. Potential backers will need to ignore a poor reappearance at Punchestown but that was a better race than this. Spring Meadow, a winning bumper and hurdler in the UK, should be better for her debut for new connections over a longer trip at Listowel.
