      In depth

      Verdict

      Big Jim Dwyer, Nyoufsea and Mister Flemington failed to figure on their respective hurdling debuts and the remaining trio go hurdling for the first time. All three have won bumpers and Castle Rushen scored in heavy going here but FIVE BAR BRIAN has switched yards since finishing down the field for Willie Mullins’ yard in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham when well ahead of Let Me Entertain U - Oliver Greenall’s new charge may prove the one to side with.
