Verdict
Data Breach was tailed off on his debut at Fairyhouse last month and has questions to answer. Flemen's Tipple made an encouraging debut at Galway as did Power Hour at Clonmel though the latter has a long absence to overcome. Youralwaysdreamin has performed with credit in a couple of strong bumpers but BOULON TROU, an expensive half-brother to a winning bumper, will be expected to make a successful debut in what looks a moderate contest, though Derek O'Connor's presence suggests Elusive Action has been primed for his debut.
