Verdict

Mighty Whitey created a shock when making a winning debut in a bumper here in May despite wandering around. He has the headgear on this time and is one to keep an eye on. The lightly-raced Karkari is another who still looked inexperienced when a decent fourth over 2m4f at Wexford and this trip should suit. After showing promise in bumpers at Punchestown and Wexford, IXORA very nearly made a winning start over hurdles at Tipperary when just touched off by Gracchus. With that under her belt and normal improvement she can go one better. Holyrood and Tadhg probably have it in them to do better in time and are others to consider.
