In depth
Verdict
BOULON TROU was well supported on his Limerick debut and ran well though found the very testing ground against him. With the going likely to dry out he's taken to get off the mark. Golden De Coeur has improved with each run and led for a long way over 2m at Ayr but Suain Na Draoicht hasn't fulfilled early potential. Willie Mullins has two entries with Jody Townend on board Klarc Kent, who was in touch throughout when less than five lengths behind stablemate Madmansgame at Navan. Patrick rides the yard's newcomer High City Roller and he is a half-brother to two winning bumpers.
