Ballyadam Brook has done brilliantly and had Imperial Shabra and Hazeymm behind when landing a strong novices' event at Listowel last time. He looks certain to give another good account and just about holds One Cool Tornado on a line through Imperial Shabra though there is very little between the pair. However, TAKEYOURCAPOFF could beat both of them as she was making strong headway and looking a real threat when coming to grief at the second last in that Listowel event and has the scope for plenty of improvement. Oilily is another progressive type and this bumper winner, who was runner-up in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown in April, got off the mark over timber with a facile victory over Silverlord at Gowran in June and is potentially very useful.
