        Verdict

        Ioupy Collonges, twiced placed between the flags in Ireland, had to battle to get the better of Goonhilly in a Hereford bumper but this is much more likely to be his game. HERMES DU GOUET, a winning point-to-pointer, showed potential in bumpers and though slightly disappointing so far over timber can make his experience count. Mikhailovich was placed in a Chepstow bumper in April but pulled up on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter after stopping quickly. Mumbles jumped poorly at Ffos Las but should have learnt from the experience.
