Rudolf should be suited by this trip after his run behind Golantilla at Thurles though faces no easy task on his handicap debut with this sort of weight. Jumptoconclusions has gone up 6lb for a battling victory over today's rival Old Time Melody in testing conditions at Cork though SHESAPORTRAIT, who was around three lengths back in fourth, is taken to reverse the form and gain her first success under Rules as she'd been showing ability over fences previously. Claiming Benefits would have a good chance on his form in the spring and, though not running well, it would be no surprise to see him bounce back.
