Verdict
LEAVE HIM ALONE beat a very useful prospect between the flags in February before comfortably landing a Cork bumper in April. He didn't please everyone with his head held high that day but it may have been down to inexperience and he gets the vote to make a winning debut over timber. Tynaghs Trooper looks a threat as he ran well behind Streets Of Newyork at Ballinrobe before falling when just coming under pressure at the last in the race won by Flycorn at Tipperary. Silent Picture has shown some potential and ran well for a long way over 2m4f at Punchestown last time while Dont Tell The Boys is quite well thought of and made his hurdling debut in a Grade 3 a year ago.
