Verdict

Expensive French-recruit JIMMY DU SEUIL wasn't able to justify market confidence when second at Thurles but he shaped with plenty of promise nonetheless and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. His stablemate Surf Club can follow him home on hurdles bow, with Pirate Island best of the others.

  1. JIMMY DU SEUIL (FR)
  2. SURF CLUB (IRE)
  3. PIRATE ISLAND (IRE)
