Verdict

Having been impressive when making a winning hurdles debut at Ballinrobe in July, TELECON patently shaped better than the bare result when eighth in a listed event at Galway, all but coming down 2 out. Well worth another chance, he earns the vote to come out on top on handicap debut. Lieutenant Highway is similarly progressive and is a player in search of the 4-timer, along with Loudest Whisper who often goes well around here.

  1. TELECON
  2. LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY (IRE)
  3. LOUDEST WHISPER (IRE)
