In depth

Verdict

Teoirim lost her way in the autumn and might need this. Truthwillsetufree faces an easier task than when favourite at the Curragh three weeks ago but the fitting of a visor is not a positive sign. SAILORS WARN beat Thousand Stars over hurdles at Leopardstown in March and found 7f much too short at Leopardstown on his return to the Flat. He's run a fair race back over timber at Fairyhouse since and looks the answer to this as Gowran winner All About Alfie turned in a shocker at Tipperary last time.
