FormscanBy Donal Murphy - It's difficult to be overly confident about any of these and so it might be worth taking a chance on RESERVE JUDGEMENT. The winner of a point-to-point on debut, with subsequent track victors in second and third, he has been very disappointing since. Now fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, it'll be interesting to see how he fares. It will come as no surprise if a few of these come alive in the market. The shrewd Shane Crawley saddles Elsannah and Elzoom and they both warrant respect. Banada Bridge is one of three Denise Foster trained runners set to take part and the daughter of Shantou is given second preference. She filled the runner-up spot on her penultimate outing, disappointing at Gowran when sent off favourite most recently. Philip Rothwell is enjoying a fine start to 2023 and he is doubly represented through Fairly Bold and Robindevidastar, with the latter well capable of making his presence felt. Fox Le Bel, Fons Vivus, Hillsin and Getaclan are others to consider in this wide-open affair.
