Verdict
BEST TRITION placed in Irish point-to-points last year and finished in front of a subsequent hurdles winner when third at Dromahane. He’s joined Olly Murphy’s in-form yard and should be in the mix. Next Left has also placed between the flags in Ireland and debuts for Gary Moore while Blackjack Magic finished third at Wincanton early in the year and is preferred to both She Has Notions and Simply Supreme. Cochise debuts over timber having won twice on the Flat and his dam stayed 2m.
