Verdict
Alfa Mix couldn't quite get to grips with Rembranlt'jac at Galway but holds Oscar Academy, Fakiera and Captain Kangaroo on that run. The winner's yard is responsible for the latter and also JON SNOW, a very smart novice hurdle who will have come on a bundle for his chasing bow at Galway and can get off the mark over fences. Walking On Glass jumped poorly on his debut over fences at Clonmel so did well to get within nine lengths of Bacardys.
