Verdict

Atlantic Breaker was only headed on the run-in when third here last month. Great Khan was placed again at Ballinrobe last month while Basilisk is almost certain to improve now going hurdling and his yard, in terrific form, also run Oath Breaker. Gleesons Tipp has already finished second in a Fairyhouse maiden with subsequent runs coming in bumpers but SHARPS CHOICE (NAP) was still on the bridle when his saddle slipped and he tipped Niall Kelly out the side door at Punchestown last month. He can recoup losses today under Paddy Mullins.
