Verdict

Monastrell did very well to beat Far Away So Close on only his second start over fences here in October but he's run poorly since and was a distance behind RATHLIN at Fairyhouse three weeks ago. Mouse Morris' charge has improved with every run over fences and his quick jumping should soon have these stretched. Gates Of Rome was 9l in front of the third Ninetieth Minute when successful here a couple of weeks ago and holds Shot From The Hip on a line through that rival, who was just a length behind Edward O'Grady's charge at Fairyhouse last month.
