Verdict
After going clear at the furlong pole, THE HERDS GARDEN was caught in the dying strides by Eight Till Late over 2m2f at Limerick and can gain compensation. Fort Smith has flattered to deceive so far in bumpers and over hurdles though there's no doubt he has ability as does Ballychorus, who floundered in heavy going at Navan last time. Winning point-to-pointer Autumn Shades wasn't beaten far on his bumper debut at Wexford while John Kiely's Liss Ui Riain looks best of the newcomers.
