Verdict
Winning bumper Green Glory has run well enough in two starts over timber to suggest he can get competitive. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Meetingofthewaters has been weakening over longer trips over hurdles while another winner between the flags, Senior Chief, may be suited by further. THE FOUR SIXES started odds-on for his bumper debut at Leopardstown in March but found a couple too good. A half-brother to four winners he may prove the one to beat though bumper winner Ballybawn Belter would be a major threat on his close second in a Punchestown maiden hurdle back in May.
