Verdict

Joseph O'Brien saddles half of the six entries, all better known on the Flat or over hurdles, with Tigris River possibly the best of the trio. However, this should chiefly concern BRAHMA BULL and Ravenhill. The former made a spectacular start over fences at Tipperary and looks a very bright prospect, though the latter also won easily on his chasing bow at Limerick and won't go down without a battle. Father Jed made great strides over hurdles in the spring but faces a stiff task on his debut over fences.
