Verdict
GWAN TADHG (NAP) was well supported on a couple of occasions over the winter but came up short. He returned from a break at Downpatrick last Sunday and scored with a bit in hand so a 7lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent a double. Portarlington has jumping problems and can't be relied on but Leroy Leroy usually manages to get round and is slowly dropping to a winnable mark. Be My Hero is still a maiden after 16 starts and Prince Of Air has never won though he ran a bit better at Ballinrobe on Monday.
