Verdict
BALLYREESODE produced by far his best race to date when scoring comfortably at Wexford and, though 7lb higher and racing over a shorter trip, he's taken to complete a quick double. World Citizen scored at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and hasn't run badly subsequently so with his rider claiming 7lb he's in with a shout. Martin Cash is still a maiden though this longer trip could bring about some improvement and though Sterling Stuff doesn't have much experience over hurdles he produced a good run at Cork last time and should be in the shake-up.
