In depth

Verdict

Tipper Road is well handicapped but the ground may still be on the soft side for him while Muzak is still a maiden after a dozen starts, mainly over longer trips. Lucky Spring returned to top form at Gowran a week ago but will be on his highest ever mark on his 16th start over timber. Ferry Point ran quite well over today's trip at Navan last month but is better over further so this can go to the lightly-raced TADHG. Edward O'Grady's charge was a very good third behind Fool's Wildcat at Leopardstown in December and though slightly disappointing at Thurles a month later he can do better than that. Barneys Honour was a long way behind Ferry Point at Navan but would have a live chance here if repeating the run that saw him a close second to Turner Brown at Punchestown in January.
