Verdict

Redundant Man and Silver Comet have experience in bumpers but neither have done enough to concern potential supporters of ROUGH JUSTICE. Willie Mullins' yard have suffered a couple of reversals in bumpers this week but there doesn't look much to stop the Dromahane point-to-point winner justifying his hugely expensive purchase price and making a winning start under Rules. Stillwater Cove, who is related to plenty of winners, may come out best for the JP McManus/Christy Roche partnership.
