Verdict

Largy Debut won a point at Oldtown by 13l and wasn't beaten far in a Navan bumper with subsequent dual winner Jimmy Jimmy just in front. He hasn't run since March last year but looks a nice prospect. THREE STRIPE LIFE is penalised for an impressive bumper victory at Navan but then ran an excellent race behind Sir Gerhard in the championship bumper at Cheltenham. He looks the one to beat on his hurdling bow as the stable's Monkstreet hasn't run since runner-up in a point in March last year. Sevenna Star is a smart handicapper on the Fat and caught the eye over 2m4f at Sligo last month.
