In depth

Verdict

Rye Martini's close third to Foxrock at Fairyhouse is comfortably the best form on view here but he's failed to build on that mainly due to poor jumping. Sumos Novios was having only the fourth start of his carer when runner-up to Mala Beach at Punchestown and though beaten a long way he can be expected to improve for the experience. Annie Oakley, who has failed to finish in three of her six starts over fences, makes a quick reappearance after a run over hurdles at Leopardstown on Sunday to regain her confidence. Feenakilmeedy was fortunate to finish runner-up to the odds-on Gitane Du Berlais at Limerick but she'd fallen on her debut over fences so it was a pleasing performance. MORNEY WING had shown potential in bumpers and over hurdles before a very promising chasing debut behind Apache Jack at Navan and with more to come can gain his first ever success.
