In depth

Verdict

Most of those have been jumping including Angela's Lashes, a bumper winner at Tramore last August but disappointing in two later runs over hurdles. Gentleman Jim has some fair form in handicaps over timber while Grangeclare Gold has been racing in decent company and wasn't far behind Slieveardagh on her latest start at Killarney last month. Dessie Hughes' mare should go well though the greater flat speed of LUIGINA IMMOCOLATA and Snow Feather may just prevail with the former getting the vote after an excellent second to the in-form Sarteano at Tramore earlier this month
