Verdict
TOOR GENERAL showed little in maidens but produced a much-improved performance when a close third in a huge field at Leopardstown in December where he only gave way in the closing stages over that 2m2f. Tony Martin will have him ready and he looks on a very realistic mark. Winning bumper Lockeen Girl is 0-17 over hurdles and, though she's been placed on numerous occasions, her best form has been over further. Comehere Hi has a very good record on the track and she'll be better for a recent run at Navan but five-times Flat winner Konig Hall looked a bit one-paced at Down Royal last weekend and has plenty to do. Market's Field won on good ground at Sligo last summer though that was over 3m.
