Verdict

The most interesting of these by a long chalk is ECHOES IN RAIN, a dual winner on the Flat in France who was pitched into a Grade 2 for her hurdling debut at Leopardstown last December. She shaped better than the distance beaten on that occasion and should prove hard to beat with her sights significantly lowered here. Mahons Glory is next best ahead of Papal Lodge and newcomer Golf Marin.
