Verdict

LOSSIEMOUTH, beaten just over two lengths by stablemate Gala Marceau in a Leopardstown Grade 1, reversed the form by the same margin in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. She'd beaten that rival easily earlier and is difficult to get away from. Cinsa and Jacovec Cavern were both well beaten but Zarak The Brave was only beaten four lengths by the selection at Fairyhouse in December and that was only his second start over timber. Enjoy The Dream gained a shock victory over the odds-on Blood Destiny in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 earlier this month.
