Verdict

SHIRLEY CASPER, a Grade 3 winner over hurdles, had little chance in the Arkle at Leopardstown last month and her earlier form over fences left something to be desired. She has, however, been tackling better company than this and can get off the mark over the bigger obstacles. Hot Or What ran a fine race behind For Bill here last month but that was over 2m6f and this could prove too short, even on her favoured heavy ground. She had Back Me Up behind on that occasion and Christy Roche's mare is another who probably needs further as she followed up with a fine run over three miles here. Derravarra Bay was beaten a long way when runner-up to Hidden Crack at Down Royal and along with the remainder looks to have plenty to do.
