Verdict

There should be more to come from WATERFORD WHISPERS, who was strong at the finish when landing a Fairyhouse novice upped to this trip at the beginning of the month and his opening mark looks fair. Must Go Now left his maiden form well behind when third of 15 on handicap debut at Thurles and he is next on the list ahead of the hat-trick seeking Yeats Star. Petit King is also worthy of consideration.

  1. WATERFORD WHISPERS (IRE)
  2. MUST GO NOW (IRE)
  3. YEATS STAR (IRE)
