Verdict
Mig Des Taillons landed a novices' hurdle at Musselburgh but is 14lb higher than for his previous victory at Fairyhouse. Dysart Diamond completed a double over this trip before finding 2m7f beyond him at Killarney but TAKE ALL absolutely sluiced in on heavy ground at Cork and though a massive 14lb higher looks set to complete a double. Big King is progressing nicely and made an impressive handicap debut at Navan for which he's been raised 11lb while Defan was probably a bit fortunate at Limerick but doesn't look overburdened on his handicap bow. Envious Editor has now had eleven starts over hurdles without winning but is generally thereabouts.
