Verdict
Striking Force has had eight starts over timber without troubling the judge though he ran well in a novices' handicap at Leopardstown in December and has been in good form on the flat recently. HAZEYMM, who is rated much higher on the level and is probably unlucky not to have won over timber, hasn't been seen since Punchestown last October but Edward O'Grady should have him ready and this looks a good opportunity. Gordon Elliott looks to have a nice recruit from the point-to-point scene in Lady Rinawa, a winner at Loughanmore in April, and it would be no surprise to see her run well in what isn't a strong maiden. Kings Orchid showed his first sign of form at Roscommon last time though he will need to make further progress to get involved.
