Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer Run And Dream ran her best race for some time over timber at Downpatrick last month and Paul Townend retains the ride despite trainer Paul Rothwell also being represented by Whats Up Bob, who is a better hurdler and has experience over fences. The latter hasn't run since October and may not be quite sharp enough but a lay-off shouldn't be a problem for MAJOR DECISION, who landed a maiden over timber here last August, his first start for eight months. He was beaten a short-head by My Lord Oscar over fences at Thurles in October where he would have won but for a slight mistake at the last. Something Grand fell at the second on his only run over fences at Thurles and may need to get her confidence back.
