SOME TARGET, a very progressive bumper and novice hurdler, was fancied to make a winning start over fences at Ballinrobe in May but found Warcraft too strong. With that experience under his belt he can take this before going on to better things. Corskeagh Royale, who had much more experience over fences, finished fourth that day and looks held though he's fit from a recent run at Galway. Kennel Bridge probably found the ground too lively when runner-up to Mister Bishop at Tipperary and this stiffer test should suit but useful hurdler Magnanimity may need another run or two over fences after a moderate effort behind Thegreatjohnbrowne on his chasing debut here last month when Arabella Boy ran well in third. The latter looks a nice prospect for Enda Bolger and is expected to provide the main threat.
