Verdict

ENCORE UNE ANNEE had Kilcross Boy almost 2l behind when showing her first sign of ability over hurdles behind By The Banks at Wexford. A winner on the all-weather in the UK, she should improve again and confirm the form. Redclue has never won in 21 starts and is better handicapped over fences while An Capall Mor is now on his fifth trainer and ran poorly on his debut for Gordon Elliott at Perth. It's difficult to get excited about the remainder though dual hurdles winner Mosman Park couldn't get any lower in the weights.
