Verdict
Doctor Bravo didn't quite get the run of the race in the Supreme Novices’ and his earlier placed effort in a Grade 3 at Gowran reads well. Deep Cave beat a big field in a Leopardstown maiden over this trip then appeared to find 2m6f just beyond him in a Grade 1 back there. Willie Mullins has four entries, three of them in winning form including THE GUNNER YEATS, who was very impressive when landing a Thurles maiden and may be good enough to take the step up in class and trip in his stride. Parmenion also has plenty going for him.
