Verdict
A very low-class maiden to open proceedings. Wait Here wasn't going too badly when falling two out at Sligo while Tony Martin has two entries with Toor General perhaps the best of them though neither has shown much. Praynodecline showed a glimmer of ability in bumpers and on her hurdling debut at Gowran in June though that was on good ground so the vote goes to HUNTERS VISION. Denis Hogan's charge is 0-17 but wasn't beaten far in two stronger races than this last summer and will be better for his reappearance at Gowran last Friday.
