Verdict

MISSYSPET had some smart form in bumpers and was having only her third start over timber when landing a maiden over this track and trip on New Year's Day. She was well supported and though carrying a big weight on her handicap debut could prove much better than a 106-rated performer. Mark Walsh, who rode her to victory that day, is on board Jumptoconclusions here as he was when Edward O'Grady's charge finished runner-up to The Mad Well at Limerick. His mount, who won at Cork last month, is improving fast and it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. Go Anna Go was making her handicap debut when beaten a head by Might Be Magic over the minimum trip here earlier this month and with just a 4lb rise to contend with has to enter the equation. Makethedifference is reverting to hurdles after a moderate spell over fences and he'd have a chance on his close second to Sir Harry Cash in March.
