Verdict

WEST CORK WILDWAY has some generally consistent from in the bank and it should not be too long before he gets his head in front. He stayed on well under pressure in the closing stages to take second place on his hurdles debut last tie out following on from a bumper victory. Eklat De Rire was an expensive purchase and is well regarded. Not beaten too far on his hurdles debut at Punchestown late last month, he can be expected to improve and give the selection most to do. Barangarou has appreciated a recent change of scenery and ran well over course and distance last time out.
  1. West Cork Wildway
