Verdict

GOLAZO took well to the larger obstacles to win nicely at Tramore on his chasing debut. Willie Mullin’s charge returns from an absence but may prove good enough to defy a penalty. Prospectus represents last year’s winning yard and has a shout on a recent second at Leopardstown while better is expected from Thegoaheadman having placed behind Capuccimix, rated 134, at Naas last week. Great Khan finished third over these fences earlier while Crossed My Mind found only one too good in last year’s renewal.
