In depth

Verdict

The market will probably be a good guide but Bay Hill has won three times on the Flat and once over hurdles and could figure if fully wound-up. Hareth has an even longer absence to overcome but The Ballyboys won off a 9lb lower mark at Limerick in December and Cahirconree may do better back over hurdles. There Was A Time is unexposed but Danny Hand gets on well with TETHRA and she wasn’t disgraced at Gowran last month after beating a big field at Punchestown. With headgear applied, she is taken to come good again.
