Verdict

PARTY CENTRAL won by only a head at Punchestown in December, but she was value for extra having taken up the lead a fair away from home, and with the way she travelled pointing to further progression now handicapping, she looks to have excellent claims of following up from a potentially lenient opening mark. Glan and Sit Down Lucy head the dangers in that order.
