Verdict

SUPER BOWL was only very moderate on the Flat but should do better over hurdles judged on a reasonable debut at Roscommon. He should improve enough to see off more experienced rivals including Leomar, who has some smart form to his credit but has been unable to get his head in front in eleven starts over timber. A Year To Remember, a winner on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien, hasn't shown enough over hurdles so far to merit consideration but Shamash, a dual winner on Tapeta at Wolverhampton in May, has since run two decent races over timber and could snatch a place.
