In depth

Verdict

SALLY PARK won two bumpers and led for a long way on his hurdling bow at Naas before fading in the closing stages. He has an absence to overcome but his trainer should have him ready and he has the scope to go on to better things. First Class Ticket has run the occasional decent race but looks quite exposed while Captain Zebo ran poorly on his hurdling debut after landing a bumper at Bangor last summer. It's difficult to get excited about the remainder though the market could provide pointers.
