Verdict

PAUL MARVEL catches the eye on paper and hails from a top yard so is fancied to make a winning debut at the chief expense of Trust Me Nate, who showed fair form when fifth at Thurles on his hurdling bow with the promise of more to come. Lucky Zebo also enters calculations on the back of his Tramore third.
