Verdict

Western Sea made most over slightly further here in December then failed to take advantage of a lower hurdles mark on a return visit. Nelly's Money just failed to concede 24lb to today's rival Bitview Colin at Clonmel and again ran well when beaten two lengths at Fairyhouse. She'll be 5lb better off with John Ryan's charge and can reverse the form. BRANDY HARBOUR was a major disappointment when attempting to take advantage of a much lower hurdles mark at Fairyhouse after scoring over fences at Naas and just failing to defy a 12lb rise at Limerick - he can get back to winning ways. Lesssaidthebetter fell on his only start over fences and is 0-16 over timber but any market move for the lightly-raced A Cheap Thrill on his handicap debut over fences should be noted.
