Verdict

WHATSANOTHERYEAR beat the rest easily when beaten only by a useful prospect at Clonmel in December and can go one better. The Passing Wife did very well in bumpers after a promising hurdle bow at Cork 2 years ago and must be respected back from an absence, while Gillane offered something to work on here in January.

  1. WHATSANOTHERYEAR (IRE)
  2. THE PASSING WIFE
