Verdict
Winterscape had He Picked Us behind when placed behind Gordon's Aura at Fairyhouse but the latter, probably the pick of Gavin Cromwell's quartet here, was impeded at the second last. The winner's yard has three entries, two newcomers plus MEDIA NARANJA, the winner of her only start on the Flat in France who made a fair hurdling debut at Gowran last month. Como Park, a dual winner on the Flat, is rated 90 and has joined Henry De Bromhead so looks one to keep an eye on. Samadabad won a minor race on the Flat in France.
