Verdict
Afterclass and Gilgamboa are newcomers worth a glance while Sea Light should be noted if active in the market. However, DOUBLE IRISH was unlucky not to make a winning debut between the flags then came up against a potentially useful winner in Moonlight Boy in a Cork bumper so should be capable of making a successful debut over hurdles. Presenting Beara looks best of the remainder.
