Verdict

After a narrow debut defeat in a Punchestown bumper, Klinnsman was sent off odds-on for a similar race at Fairyhouse but could only finish third. He returned to Punchestown in May and didn't perform all that well and makes his hurdling debut. Specific Gravity is rated 94 on the Flat but his two runs to date over timber haven't offered much encouragement though there should be some improvement forthcoming. TIGER TREK is best on quick ground so unless the going turns soft he looks the one to be on after two decent efforts last month, the latest over 2m4f at Listowel where he ran out of steam after travelling well. Dual Flat winner Grandma Dotty has shown a glimmer of ability and could prove best of the remainder.
