Verdict

French Dynamite started favourite for his point-to-point debut in May and came up trumps so has to be considered with Robbie Power on board. PIENTA has run really well without much luck in big fields on the Flat and over hurdles and this should be his day to lose his maiden tag. Argumental disappointed between the flags when last seen in April after showing promise on his debut but Trevena looks more of a threat. A dual winner on the Flat, she made a very encouraging start over timber when a close third in a big field at Cork and can only improve. With the yard in outstanding form, The Wonky Tonk should improve for his run at Wexford though the stable also have the first two reserves in Tune The Chello and Somptueux, both runners-up on their only start between the flags, plus Yeah Babe, a first-flight debut faller.
