Verdict

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, with SHOWBUSINESS getting the vote to score at the third time of asking over hurdles having failed to meet expectations at Fairyhouse in February. He remains with potential and is worth another chance to confirm his debut promise. Statuaire heads the dangers on return/yard debut for master trainer Willie Mullins, ahead of Blowing Dixie.
