Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Highstreet Roller only just failed to make a successful handicap debut over timber at Downpatrick and will be winning soon. Karla Martina, placed in her last three starts, is another ready to lose her maiden tag while Mind Your Money won a bumper in good style at Tramore. RAVEN RULE was well supported for a Clonmel maiden but found Bonarc too good. She'll more likely progress again and looks the one to be on.
