O'TOOLE produced a surprise when landing a Fairyhouse bumper by 15l on his debut then had high-class opposition such as Sir Gerhard and Eric Bloodaxe behind when runner-up to Kilcruit in the championship bumper at Punchestown. He looks an exciting prospect and can make a successful hurdling debut. Free Nelson looks best of those with experience having stayed on when runner-up over 2m at Clonmel and will be suited by the extra. I Don't Get It is now 0-25 and needs further but Layla's Daffodil produced her best run to date here in May and can snatch a place. Henry De Bromhead's newcomer Helisone is one to note in the market.
