Verdict

HOLIDAY IN KERRY reacted positively to cheekpieces when third at Clonmel recently and might be the way to go if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. It's likely only a matter of time before Tony Martin's Atlantian wins a handicap hurdles and he's feared most ahead of recent Punchestown 1-2 Rochestown and Chelseas Friend.
