Verdict

Raise Hell must be held in high regard as he's gone off at very short odds in all starts but has done nothing to justify the support so far. MORE MADNESS is on the upgrade and looks a better option as his close second at Gowran in March has been well boosted and he produced another fine performance behind Minella For Value at Cork. Tristram Shandy looks the main threat as he made a very promising debut over hurdles here last month. The well-connected Dunmoe and the mare Gale Force Lucey are newcomers to keep an eye on in the betting.
