Most of these have been disappointing including Makka Pakka, who looked a likely future winner after a very good run at Clonmel but hasn't shown the expected improvement. Seeyouinvinnys didn't run badly behind City Island at Naas and is one of the few here with scope but the vote goes to MASON JAR, who possibly found the minimum trip too short at Thurles after a fine effort over slightly further than this at Clonmel. Jeremys Dream hasn't improved while Kalum River probably needs further.
