It's difficult to know what to make of KEMBOY, who joined the champion trainer after a placed effort on the Flat in the French Provinces in the summer of last year, though he has a very smart jumping pedigree and looks to have been found a decent chance to make a successful start. Clara Sorrento has produced two very good runs in bumpers while Kilcrea Bridge made a promising hurdling debut on heavy ground here in March before well beaten in a bumper a couple of weeks later. Act In Time has been making steady progress and though unable to cope with Ben Dundee at Naas had the remainder well beaten and can improve again. Leila's Island has completed a hat-trick between the flags and Mick Winters has done well with similar types in the past.
