In depth

Verdict

Dedigout gained many admirers with his success at Punchestown and a strong gallop will see him in contention in the testing ground. MART LANE was equally impressive when making a winning hurdling debut at Perth where he had the well-regarded Hard To Swallow well beaten. He'll come on for that and looks an exciting prospect. My Murphy had Rourke's Cross, who runs in the previous race, just behind at Wexford before running well in a better race at Thurles while Reizovic looked a nice prospect with a smooth victory at Naas. Lyreen Legend battled to success over the minimum trip at Naas before a much better performance in a Listed contest there where he looked as though this longer trip would suit. He has plenty of scope as does Turban, who made a promising debut in soft conditions at Thurles and is certain to have come on for the experience.
