Verdict

Extrapolation won a Downpatrick bumper by ten lengths last month before runner-up on his hurdling bow at Punchestown. LIONNAR looked in need of experience on her debut at Killarney last month but stayed on nicely when getting the hang of things and can get off the mark. Bumble Bee Bet was sent to Ayr for his debut in a bumper and beat a previous winner after a sustained battle.
