Verdict

Experience counts in juvenile hurdles and smooth Roscommon winner, Whyzzat, is taken very seriously seeking a follow up here. His win came on the back of decent Flat runs and he should comfortably confirm placings with Television and Grey Angel were well behind him. Supposedtobe delivered a satisfactory debut behind an easy winner and should improve but there are some interesting recruits from the Flat and Galway Festival winner, BELL EX ONE, appeals as the sort to do well over timber, although the likes of Albert Camus, Gamigin, Lunar Power and Realist all start off with at least one Flat win in the book in a race where the market could really assist.
