Verdict
Dual hurdles winner Clever Currency has gradually improved over fences and landed a Sligo novices' handicap where he made all and battled on well. Dundaniel landed a maiden hunter chase over 3m here in April so could find this on the short side while Butterflyvespiere couldn't get close to the long odds-on Heia at Tramore, though had the remainder well beaten. POTTERS PARTY has been a beaten favourite in six of his seven starts to date including on his chasing debut at Sligo last month where he took a crashing fall. Providing he's none the worse, he can finally begin justifying his reputation.
