Verdict

Bomber Jackson, three times a winner on the Flat, was third in this a year ago but it looks a stronger race this time. Knockmaole Boy finished a well beaten runner-up in a huge field at Tipperary but didn't look to be travelling all that well when falling two out at Limerick. Winning point-to-pointer PRODUCT OF LOVE made a successful bumper debut at Killarney in impressive style and didn't look right when well beaten at Fairyhouse. He looks the type to make a decent hurdler so is handed the vote as though Valgor Du Ronceray should be winning soon it could be over further.
