Verdict
Mr Warbucks looked a promising chaser at the backend of 2009 but doesn't appear to have made the normal improvement though he hasn't had much experience. Kind Oscar gained a very easy success over the C&D last March but hasn't been seen since flopping over a longer trip at Cork in May. SEE U BOB beat the high-class Kempes on his chasing bow at Thurles just over a year ago and, though the pair have gone their different ways, Paul Nolan's charge still has time on his side and a couple of recent runs over timber will have put him straight. Organisedconfusion ran well over a longer trip at Leopardstown last time and appears to have ironed out his jumping problems so is another to consider.
