Verdict
All You Need won a bumper in France and has been making steady progress over hurdles. She was still in touch when falling two out at Leopardstown last month. Annagh Haven was only just caught by the long odds-on chance Lyrical Theatre at Thurles in December before finding Grade 3 company too hot for her at Limerick a couple of weeks ago. Luke Dempsey's claim should enable her to get into the frame. Despite finishing runner-up here earlier this month, The Living Beauty was beaten a long way but Palm Sur won a bumper at Killarney on her debut then almost snatched a Listed contest on this track. She hasn't been seen since February of last year and makes her hurdling debut but obviously goes well fresh. EMILY SINICO will stay further than this in time but ran an eye-catching race at Gowran three weeks ago where she stayed on steadily from the rear so she's handed the vote in a tricky opener.
