Verdict

CONNA COTTAGE made an encouraging start over fences at Fairyhouse where he held every chance when exiting at the third-last. His jumping was otherwise spot-on and, open to improvement in this sphere, he could be the answer. The selection may have most to fear from Willywampus, who is still a maiden following 10 appearances over jumps but he has found just one too good on each of his 3 chase starts and should pick up a race before long. Ciao Bella and Cregane Ned are others to consider.

  1. CONNA COTTAGE (IRE)

  3. CIAO BELLA (FR)
