Verdict

Got Your Back wasn’t beaten far in a point at Kildorrery in February and COCO MADEMOISELLE won a maiden at Tinahely in January. The latter can make a winning start under Rules in what is the weaker of the two divisions of this bumper. Air Of Approval showed some promise at Newcastle when ahead of Topcliffe Boy and Boldog still has some potential but Light Sentence, placed twice at Taunton, looks a bigger danger.
