Verdict

Lean Times bounced back to form from a couple of poor runs with a fine effort behind Face Facts at Cork while Free To Dream handles testing ground very well as he showed at Ballinrobe. Cnoc Na Sioga was only just over a length behind the in-form Caim Hill at Bellewstown and looks a threat to PRIMROSEANDBLUE, who has really taken to hurdling as he proved in beating Audrelles Lad at Wexford and has shown he handles testing conditions in the past.
