Verdict
Plenty of give in the ground today which should suit Ruby Walsh's mount TOP MADAM, a winning point-to-pointer who landed a Kilbeggan bumper last month on good to soft ground. She can make a winning start over timber though Missunited won a couple of bumpers last autumn and was tackling stronger company when beaten later and Misty Weather showed that jumping is her game with a fine effort behind Court Lexi at Limerick. Ross Bay may do better when sent over further and Music On D Waters ran her best race over hurdles at Sligo last month.
