Verdict

FULLY CHARGED won a point in April and made a bold bid to concede Alpine Cobra 5lb on his debut over timber at Punchestown where the 2m6f trip looked ideal. He can go one better though Fou Diligence has done nothing wrong and is certain to be suited by stepping up in trip. Drifting Back was suited by a test of stamina in a 3m handicap here last month while the four-year-old filly Silk Worm, a bumper winner at Tramore, found 2m much too short on her hurdling bow at Tramore.
