In depth

Verdict

Most of these are unexposed in particular WESTERN COWBOY (NAP), who made a fine debut behind Runrized at Tramore when staying on strongly over the minimum trip. The third came out and won on Monday and Henry De Bromhead's charge can go one better. The four-year-old Eyewitness won a Naas bumper in February but ran poorly when a short-priced favourite at Leopardstown and makes his debut over timber. His in-form yard also run Flying Glory, the second foal of a mare who produced a winning bumper with her first. Enniskerry had some smart bumper form and started favourite for his debut over timber at Thurles but wasn't right and pulled up.
