Verdict

It may be worth chancing MAGGIE WALSH, who didn't disgrace herself in a C&D novice event recently and was a good third off this mark at Fairyhouse in October. Pepperocco is entitled to come on for her reappearance spin at Naas and is worth a second look, while the likes of Ramble On Muller and Up She Flew could improve now pitched into handicap company. Little Mixup won well at Limerick the other day but is not an obvious type to follow up.

  1. MAGGIE WALSH (IRE)
  2. PEPPEROCCO (IRE)
  3. RAMBLE ON MULLER (IRE)
