Verdict

SEAN HOGAN returned after a long break to perform with credit over this trip at Down Royal and was in touch when falling three out at Punchestown. He could be a nice stayer in the future and this looks a very moderate race. Endless Cash had been beaten a distance in his first two starts and went off at 250/1 for a Naas maiden last month but belied his odds with a fair effort over a trip that looked too short. Winning point-to-pointer Direct Fire has shown nothing so far over timber though may be suited by better ground conditions but Presenting Bonnie produced her best run over the minimum trip. Captain Court was a reserve in the 2.25 at Wexford yesterday.
