Verdict

GOEASYONME was unfancied on debut but shaped with enough promise to suggest he is capable of landing an ordinary maiden, and this looks just such an opportunity. Combs is respected on the pick of his efforts last season and can pose the main threat, while Texas Red is fancied to be in the mix for minor honours once again.

3	Montmartre gelding who belied huge odds when 3¼ lengths second of 13 to Clay Pigeons in maiden hurdle at Roscommon. Showed signs of inexperience on that occasion so can be expected to build on that now. 1st Pick 3 Goeasyonme (Fr) Jockey: D. King Trainer: John Patrick Ryan, Ireland J: D.

2	Fairly useful sort ran a cracker when third in listed handicap in December but failed to build on that in 3 subsequent outings. Respected back in maiden company after 150-day break but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. 2nd Pick 2 Combs (Ire) Jockey: Danny Gilligan Trainer: Gordon Elliott, Ireland J: Danny Gilligan T: Gordon Elliott, Ireland	96	-	-	-	34%

6	In frame in maiden hurdles on last 2 starts, 5 lengths third of 15 to Be My Fortune at Ballinrobe on latest. Likely needs to step up on those efforts if he's to achieve anything more than minor honours again, though. 3rd Pick 6 Texas Red (Fr) Jockey: Tiernan Power Roche Trainer: P. J.
