Verdict
Prickly impressed when landing bumpers here and at Down Royal and started a short-priced favourite on the Flat at Leopardstown earlier this month but found the ground too fast. Little Haarth would have won over hurdles by now had his jumping been better and he'll take some beating if producing an error-free round though the vote goes to TRADEWINDS. He's recently joined Mick Hourigan from the UK and showed with a fine run behind New Kid In Town at Cork that he's ready to score for new connections. Josh's Chance looks best of the remainder.
