In depth

Verdict

Conquering Tara has shown potential but seems to have a mind of her own and disappointed after a good run at Punchestown in September - she has a long absence to overcome. DARCYS HILL had shown glimpses of ability in bumpers and wasn't stopping on her hurdling bow over 2m3f at Limerick so this could be her day though Oscar Tonic found 2m1f too short at Tramore and this will be much more like her trip. Robin Scherbatsky, runner-up in a Limerick maiden on her debut, didn't run up to that level in a better race at Cork next time.
