Verdict

REALISM wasn't given a hard time once his chance had gone in a deep Cork juvenile a fortnight ago and he was solid in the betting that day. He could be capable of much better and gets the vote. Dubai Clover and Ludus have both shown plenty to work on, while Byker is an interesting recruit to hurdling for Charles Byrnes.
