Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer COQOLINO, runner-up to the very smart Bob Olinger in a bumper, hasn't quite hit the heights over hurdles despite finishing second at Galway but should have more to offer and looks the one to beat. Alko Rouge has also come up against some smart performers and appeared to find 2m4f stretching his stamina on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse. Lucky Tenner landed a heavy-ground bumper at Limerick and made a promising start over timber when only beaten two lengths at Fairyhouse so has to be on the shortlist along with the selection's stablemate Robinstown, though the latter is bred to be a staying chaser.
