Verdict
Crystal Pool was in good form on the Flat last summer, winning twice for which she's penalised. The Flier Begley had decent form in bumpers and stays well over timber as he showed when runner-up over 2m6f on soft ground here a fortnight ago. WEE WILLIE NAIL couldn't quite hold off the more experienced Wild Shot over the track and trip on the same card but that was only his second start and he can go one better. Queen Jane ran in a bumper last time after a fair debut over timber at Fairyhouse but Will You Win has now had fourteen starts and been placed just twice.
