Verdict

JUST CAUSE, rated 128 over hurdles, should go higher than that judged on a very encouraging chasing debut behind the potentially top-class Lieutenant Colonel at Gowran and he's unlikely to meet anything of that calibre here. Russian Bill is on the same mark over timber and he looks a nice one for chasing though he hasn't run since December. Peoples Park put his experience over fences to good use at Ballinrobe and it will be a surprise if he doesn't get competitive while Killiney Court beat a decent type in King's Wharf at Tipperary and continues to make good progress.
