Verdict

VILLAGE MYSTIC has had plenty of problems evidenced by being off the track for nearly two year before finishing a moderate third on his reappearance run recently at Naas. If building on that then he should be able to land a maiden hurdle at the very least before long and today looks a good opportunity. Last Minute Man has been showing signs of promise of late with two place finishes of late to his name. He looks to be slowly getting the hang of things and should be challenging for a leading role if progressing again. Fils Spirituel will need to improve his overall jumping but has solid claims if he can.
  1. Village Mystic
