Verdict

Trainer Charles Byrnes appears to have found an ideal opportunity for his Born To Sea gelding POSEIDON to get back to winning ways here. The six-year-old won over C&D in November landing the spoils on soft/heavy ground in November and can hold off the attentions of the likes of the Gordon Elliott-trained Battle Of Wills, winner of a Naas 2m maiden hurdle in January. Winner of a Downpatrick 2m3f handicap hurdle when last seen in March, Benefit North and the John McConnell-trained Never Do Nothing can compete for remaining prize money.
  1. Poseidon
