Verdict

O'Moore Park won a point-to-point by 10 lengths then started slight odds-on for his bumper debut at Fairyhouse in November but was beaten a neck. The form hasn't worked out as expected and he may not come into his own until tackling hurdles. Willie Mullins also runs another two with Sky Sprinter, who is out of a mare from a top jumping family, possibly the best of them. Gordon Elliott has two entries and I AM FORTUNATA looks the one to be on. He's a half-brother to three winning bumpers and out of a bumper winner. Ahead Of The Posse also has a fine pedigree and is one to note while the market should provide clues to the chances of the remainder.
