Auld Brig made a successful debut at Roscommon but didn't get far at Listowel where he was impeded before falling. BOBABOUT can take this as he was in touch and travelling well when falling at Down Royal then made amends with a comfortable victory at Listowel when Linger was around 5l behind. Joseph O'Brien runs a pair and Lord Justice, who was just over 7l behind the selection at Listowel, had a real battle with stablemate Zig Zag at Ballinrobe and there's nothing between them here. Edification had some decent form on the Flat in the UK and should make a hurdler.
