Verdict

Visionarian went for £60,000 after landing a point at Knockmullen House in November and is one to note along with Gordon Elliott's newcomer Smokey The Bandit, who cost €160,000 as a three-year-old. Power Of Pause disappointed at Leopardstown in March, though the form has worked out well, but the vote goes to SLIGE DALA. Joseph O'Brien's charge didn't quite run up to expectations at Punchestown in November after a promising debut but looks the type to make progress this campaign.
