Verdict
Its All Hush Hush showed potential in his early races over timber but appears to have gone backwards. Jack The Pirate has done well in bumpers without quite managing to get there and he looks one to keep an eye on as he makes his debut over timber. Chance A Grand was a complete outsider on his debut over timber at Naas but did much better than expected and is bound to improve though FAHAMORE looks the one to be on. Edward Harty's youngster had made a promising start over timber in May and was sent off favourite on his reappearance at Down Royal. He couldn't quite match strides with the front three but wasn't beaten far and should have benefited from the run.
