Verdict

GOOD BYE SAM, placed over fences in France and in a point in January, ran an excellent race behind his top hunter stablemate Billaway at Naas with the remainder in another parish, form that would easily be good enough for this. Easca Mor was placed in a similar race to this at Cork last April but hasn't made the expected progress between the flags. O Mio Babbino won a maiden point at Dromahane by 15 lengths before dead-heating in an Open at Ballyvodock and has scope for further improvement but Larkfield Legacy hasn't won in 10 starts between the flags.
