Verdict
BLOSSOM DE MAI had Magic Conqueror a couple of lengths behind when scoring at Tramore with C'est Rien a close fourth. The last mile of that race was on the Flat as the final two flight were omitted so it wouldn't be a surprise if anyone of the trio triumphed here but Conor Owens is good value for his claim and the winner can confirm the form. Champagne Mahler was placed in a two-mile Wexford maiden and makes his handicap debut over a longer trip with a big weight. Thelonglad hadn't shown much before a much better effort over the minimum here last month but Duke Otto looked in the handicapper's grip at Thurles after completing a double.
