Verdict

Wide open fare with the vote in favour of KREN'S GIFT. A winner in points, she defied a lengthy absence to make a winning hurdling debut at Roscommon 3 weeks ago and it rates a distinct possibility there is more to come now her sights are set on handicaps. Limerick-scorer Kitty Galore and Top Line Tommy are others to consider, whilst Deealli requires market scrutiny on handicap debut.
