Verdict

Kaiser Black landed a point-to-point at Largy in April and won't mind the conditions but stable-companion Tinos Tank hasn't been seen since February of last year. Poormans Hill was the shock winner of a Galway bumper before tailed off on his hurdling debut there last week while Seaboard, who had shown potential in bumpers, also ran poorly when making his hurdling debut at Kilbeggan. ELECTRIC CONCORDE will be having his first start over obstacles after following a bumper victory at Galway over a subsequent winner with a decent run behind a useful rival at Killarney. Jim Culloty looks to have a nice prospect for hurdling on his hands and he can make a successful debut.
