Verdict

Harry Alonzo hasn't been seen since runner-up at Fairyhouse in January but TOP BANDIT chased home subsequent hurdles winner Bohemian Birch at Sligo and can go one better. The winner's yard is represented by Cool Jet, the first foal of a mare from the family of champion bumper Cousin Vinny. Collins cost €115,000 and is out of a winner on the Flat while point-to-point runner-up Gateau De Miel is from a very smart family of jumpers.
