In depth

Verdict

STAY HUMBLE, a winning point-to-pointer, lost his maiden tag on his fourth bumper start at Downpatrick and looks to have been found a simple opportunity to make a winning debut over timber. Eimear was beaten five times between the flags and has only shown moderate ability in two starts over timber while Esthers Marvel has been feeling the effects of her fall at Cork in January. Mujadel has some improvement in him and could provide the main threat.
