Verdict

ARCTIC WARRIOR ran just once on the Flat in France before making his debut for Willie Mullins at Downpatrick in February where he may have won but for falling at the second last. He's been given time to recover and should make amends. The Banger Doyle is penalised for his bumper victory and is better than he showed in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown in February. Motion In Limine showed nothing between the flags but made an excellent start over timber when just touched off at Navan. He was on the retreat when falling at Cork next time but can fight it out for a place here with Moakland, who produced easily his best run to date at Limerick last month.
