Barbary Master started favourite over a similar trip at Galway but made a couple of costly mistakes. Glen Wyllin made a successful bumper debut at Ballinrobe before placed in a much stronger contest here and looks a very nice hurdling prospect, as does SHANTREUSSE. Henry De Bromhead's new recruit chased home the hugely expensive Ginto in a Navan bumper before winning comfortably at Clonmel and can make a winning start over timber. Ginto's yard have Mr Fred Rogers engaged here and the Tipperary bumper winner had his Wexford second place boosted when the third came out and won next time.
