PRESENTING JULIO (NAP) looks ready to win again soon after a fine run at Cheltenham when just failing to last out an extra furlong over that ultra-stiff track. He'll be very difficult to beat in that kind of form as though Ballybrowney Jack looks quite well treated for his handicap debut over fences he's yet to prove he stays this far. The selection's stable companion Cecil Corbett won a handicap over 3m1f at Gowran last month, when Freewheelin Dylan was a close third, but didn't run so well over shorter at Punchestown a few days later and the latter may be capable of a form reversal as he was only caught in the closing stages. Dinnie's Vinnie won three times in the early part of the year though probably needs softer ground to show his best.
