Henry Brown is penalised for his bumper victory and made far too many mistakes on his hurdling debut at Gowran. Vinnie Is Busy was well supported for a Limerick bumper and won easily but didn't run up to that form at Naas last month. ALL ABOUT JOE was second stepped up to 2m7f here earlier this month and, though unable to cope with the well-supported winner, had the remainder a long way behind and can go one better. Barnaviddaun has been a beaten favourite the last twice over 2m and will be fancied to go one better over this longer trip though he has little in hand of Hesamanofhisword on their placed efforts at Fairyhouse.
