In depth

Verdict

Snaidhm has had 13 starts over timber and been placed six times. She again ran well in a Gowran handicap last time but has become expensive to follow. GOULANE DAVINA won between the flags at Dromahane a year ago and has made good progress over timber. She would have finished much closer at Listowel last time but for a couple of mistakes and this looks a good opportunity. Danali won a point-to-point and a bumper in the spring and ran well on her reappearance in heavy ground at Cork. She has every chance of making a decent hurdler, though her penalty makes this a tough test. The Brock Inn, a winner on the Flat at Tramore in August, may find the going a bit too testing.
