Verdict
HOLLYBANK KING (NAP) never won in 14 starts between the flags and is 0-10 under Rules but he's done well in his last two starts and was only headed in the closing stages over slightly further at Down Royal. Itsalonglongroad was beaten 20l in that latter event while Presenting Dylan has run in Scotland the last twice where he's found 2m4f too far. Fox Le Bel looked a likely future winner when a close third over hurdles at Cork but ran poorly when well supported at Naas and reverts to fences. Carnet De Stage gained his only victory over an extended 2m7f at Downpatrick.
