5/4
The faster ground, shorter trip and tight track would have been against him last time. Had produced a couple of better efforts at Newcastle prior to that which suggest he can land a small race.

7/1
Has looked moderate in all runs thus far. Has shown signs of improvement between those efforts but needs to find an awful lot more.

All runs under rules and in point-to-points indicate a moderate level of ability. Needs a few of these to run well below par.

2/1
A depressing effort last time is in contrast to two prior promising efforts. They include a second to a useful horse over 2m here in December. Something was clearly amiss last time and this looks a good opportunity to bounce back.

10/1
Produced her best effort under rules when finishing a distant third. A line through the winner shows she has a lot to find with Floramoss.

12/1
Point-to-point form is nothing special. Has stamina and can be ridden from the front. Those assets could carry her a long way in this.

Forecasts

Acdc (5/4), Floramoss (2/1), Cadellin (7/1), Haul Us In (10/1), Rock Solid (12/1), Loughview Laddie (40/1)

Verdict

FLORAMOSS is taken to prove her last run was all wrong. She was never travelling well on that occasion but judged on her two previous runs she is more than capable of winning a race at this level. Acdc has shown ability in bumpers and a couple of hurdles at Newcastle. Conditions did not suit last time and a hood will be fitted. Rock Solid only has modest point-to-point form in Ireland. Those efforts prove her stamina and forcing tactics could reap dividends in a race lacking depth.
