Verdict

VINNIE showed promise on his chasing debut a year ago but wasn't seen out again for almost a year after pulling up at Wexford in October. He has returned to action over timber in superb form and he jumped his rivals silly when making all at Tramore last week. Breeze With Ease was well beaten by Vinnie at Sligo earlier but his reins broke and he was eased to a walk in the closing stages. He had previously beaten Market Watcher over hurdles here and is one to keep an eye on as he makes his chasing bow. Time Travel hasn't shown much over hurdles but has been running quite well on the Flat and may do better over fences while point-to-point winner Mountain Heather scored over timber here in August and there is no reason why he shouldn't do well over the bigger obstacles.
