Verdict

NT FIELD MINNESOTA won a maiden point at the fourth attempt in April and joined Willie Mullins. She started odds-on for her bumper debut at Tramore last month and though well beaten into second should do much better over obstacles. All Ways And Ever showed little on the Flat but is already a much better hurdler having chased home the long odds-on Shajak at Limerick. The winner's yard is represented by Yeats Star, who was beaten a long way on his hurdling debut at Wexford. Gone For Tea has gradually improved in bumpers and won easily at Bellewstown but winning point-to-pointer Fathom Two has been looking as though he needs further than this. Bayonetta was beaten a head over the course and distance before a moderate effort at Perth.
