Verdict

The trainer and jockey combination of Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell can steer INSANE BOLT to his first victory on his seventh career start. The Slade Power gelding appears back in handicap company following a spin in a Tipperary maiden hurdle on return to action last month. Ridden by Russell for the first-time the four-year-old can get the better of older rivals Inishbel, who has hit the frame over C&D previously and the Gavin Cromwell-trained Saol Iontach. The J P McManus-owned Kilmurry looks a progressive type and should not be taken lightly on his seasonal debut.
