Verdict

COOL NATIVE has been unable to match her debut form in 2 subsequent starts but this isn't a deep race so she's worth another chance. Ritz Plan should step up on her stable debut, while Room For One More demands respect given the yard she represents even allowing for the fact she didn't show much in a bumper.

2	Winning pointer who finished third in a competitive Navan maiden on Rules debut in November. Unseated just as the race was starting to take shape on return at Fairyhouse and while she was a little disappointing here last time, this looks a weaker race.

12	Consistent in academy hurdles last winter, finishing second of 14 at Naas on final start for Joseph Patrick O'Brien in mid-December. Unable to repeat that form back from 6 months off for new yard at Roscommon. This will reveal more. 2nd Pick 12 Ritz Plan (Ire) Jockey: J. J. Slevin Trainer: Stuart Crawford, Ireland J: J. J.

9	Walk In The Park mare. Sister to 2 winners, and closely related to 2 winners, and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Tornado Flyer. Too green to show much in a bumper during the spring but has to be much better than that for her leading stable. 3rd Pick 9 Room For One More (Ire) Jockey: S. F. O'keeffe Trainer: W. P.
