Verdict

PURSE PRICE was in the process of running a big race when unseating at the last at Clonmel and this shouldn't take much winning. The Other Mozzie, runner-up to the smart Butcher Hollow in a Galway bumper, finished last in a similar race at Fairyhouse next time. Shoot Champagne showed some potential in a Cork bumper but has disappointed over timber. Bleu D'enfer began with a poor run in a Fairyhouse bumper last year and, though subsequently placed over timber and fences, looks well exposed but should still get into the frame.
