Verdict

Gordon Elliott has four entries here with Jack Kennedy on board Find A Fortune, who started a short-priced favourite for a Clonmel bumper in March but finished tailed off. Mark Walsh rides Slanagaibhgoleir for J P McManus and his mount is certain to be suited by this longer trip after a couple of outings last winter. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper DANCING CITY didn't jump well on his hurdling debut over the track and trip but only weakened from the last and is expected to do very much better. Nas Na Riogh, a winner between the flags, never got involved on his hurdling debut at Down Royal and though better for the experience may need further.
