In depth

Verdict

Not the most auspicious of beginnings but there is sure to be support for the returning What Wonders Weave, who placed three times in maidens last summer. She should be thereabouts if fully wound-up but ANNIE G has the more recent form having placed at Ballinrobe and Tipperary. Newcomer Hurricane Georgie has Jordan Gainford doing the steering and is bred to stay and supporters could get a run for their money out of Sumtinboutporter, who took a step forward for new connections at Limerick.
