In depth

Verdict

Boom To Bust showed promise at Gowran and should do better but the more experienced pair FLIC FLAC and Edenshaw should have his measure this time. The former was unfortunate not to lose her maiden tag last season and made an encouraging reappearance behind Obligada at Limerick. She should be spot on for this and her allowance could just give her the edge over Edenshaw, another who has been unlucky several times and who should be ideally suited by this trip. Kucharova has gradually improved and probably found a mile just too far at Killarney last time.
