Verdict
GWAN TADHG (NAP) showed major improvement to land a course and distance handicap a couple of weeks ago and though he'll be 9lb higher he still looks on a fair mark. Blackberry Jack ran his best race to date over timber when runner-up at Kilbeggan while Breagagh, who is 0-31, ran very well on the Flat last month and can't get much lower. Tea It Is looked a likely future winner when a close third at Sligo but hung left throughout on his next start at Killarney. Karloss has shown nothing but has moved yards and is one for market watchers.
