Verdict
MARY O'G ran promisingly on debut last month in a race which is working out very well. A half-sister to top-class chaser Gerri Colombe, the selection finished third to subsequent Grade 2 bumper winner Moonverrin at Cork, while the runner-up had previously scored in a point-to-point. Belladaball was well held behind two useful rivals on her debut at Fairyhouse in December and can build on that effort. C'est Elle is noted too.
Expert View Verdict
This can go to MARY O'G, who shaped with a load of promise on her debut Cork last month. That form has worked out nicely, with the winner going in again since and the fourth finishing a good second next time. C'Est Elle finished a good second in a point when last seen in December and has since joined a top yard. She seems the one most likely to give the selection a race although Kiltybo shaped with promise here on rules debut when ridden positively and should improve.
