Verdict

Cnoc Na Sioga steadily improved in three bumpers before scoring over hurdles at the beginning of the month and should have enough pace to make his presence felt on his debut under Flat Rules. CEOL RUA has a bumper and two hurdles successes to her credit including a Listed event at Fairyhouse in January. She looks the one to beat as though Raggletagglegypsy has won twice over timber he's yet to reach a place in five starts on the level. Winning bumper Sword Of Honour looks best of the remainder as Morning Ireland has been out of form over hurdles.
