Verdict

BUDDHA BOY appeared booked for victory last time out at Fairyhouse over this trip when getting to the front in good style only for the winner to come from the clouds with a wet sail and fly by. Despite that, he was clear of the remainder in second spot and while raised 4lb, has scope to do better on this surface and can land some compensation now. The consistent Brave Display looks in need of some weight back while Solar Halo and Little Clarinet are closely matched and should be in the mix. A Little Bit Me hasn't been missed by the handicapper for an easy win at Listowel and while still on the up, is now 30lb higher than when winning just last month over the trip at Cork.
  1. Buddha Boy
  2. A Little Bit Me
  3. Little Clarinet
