Verdict

Sweettoothtommy has yet to win but his best run came on this track on similar ground to today. St Johns Point had every chance when falling in that latter event and has since run well at Musselburgh so has to be respected while The Wexfordian arrives on the back of a victory between the flags at Black Forest Lodge in November. YUR NEXT, a winning point-to-pointer, makes his debut over regulation fences having scored over timber here last month. He looks to be on the upgrade despite his age and can make a successful transition. Glengra is another having his first start over fences and showed enough ability over hurdles to suggest he can win races.
