Verdict
Useful hurdler Folsom Blue was having his first start for a year when showing up well for a long way in the race won by Sizing Gold at Navan last month and will have come on for the run. Winning point-to-pointer Manor Court ran better than expected on his comeback at Punchestown and is the type to do well over fences. TALBOT ROAD has won a point-to-point and a maiden hurdle in a light career and made a very encouraging start over fences behind Bright New Dawn at Punchestown. With more to offer he can take this though Soweheard, a dual point-to-point winner and successful hurdler, is an intriguing newcomer to fences for Gordon Elliott.
