Verdict
Captain Jimmy gained the only victory of his career in this last year but is 10lb higher and hasn't run since March. FOLLOW THE CROWD would probably have won at Wexford in June but for falling at the last and made amends with a convincing success at Roscommon. He's 8lb higher but looks progressive and can go in again. King Ferdinand is definitely on the upgrade having won over timber when trained in England then scored on his second start over fences for new connections. Hoke Colburn has been going well without quite getting there while Sanibel Island has really found his form since transferring to the Hourigan yard and battled on strongly to complete a double at Downpatrick.
