      Verdict

      FAIR MOUNTAIN is the interesting one in this as he was a Listed winner on the Flat in Germany over 1m2f. If he takes to hurdles, he could outclass these. Kings Inn has been lightly raced and has probably been waiting for better ground. He has more scope than Ballinahinch, not beaten far when second here in March, and Take Em Out, who has shown some promise but was pulled up in handicap at Chepstow last time. Yensir was 0-18 on the Flat but Olly Murphy will probably find a race for him this summer.
