Dorans River took advantage of very heavy ground at Listowel to win comfortably and should prove useful when sent hurdling. He has an obvious chance here though the concession of the age and fillies' allowance to BARGY LADY may prove beyond him. Willie Mullins' daughter of Yeats was very impressive at the same meeting, coming home well clear of her rivals, and looks a smart prospect. Morgan did very well to finish third in a very strong bumper at Fairyhouse in March and is another to look forward to over obstacles.
