In depth

Verdict

All known form suggests FELIX YONGER need only jump round safely to gain his first success over timber after his excellent debut run behind Daring Article at Cork. Winning point-to-pointer Beef To The Heels has a very nice pedigree for jumping and should win his share in the future but Sandeel Bay weakened quickly over this trip at Wexford last month after showing earlier promise.
