Verdict
Holiday In Kerry won over hurdles here in March and makes his chasing debut. The lightly-raced Happy Dreams was well supported when falling at the last at Tipperary when there with a chance though he'd made several mistakes earlier. MALINA GIRL (NAP) had been very consistent before getting off the mark over fences at Roscommon. Still only five, she looks likely to go to a higher mark than this and looks the one to beat. Galon De Vauzelle, a winning point-to-pointer and hurdler, was well supported over fences at Gowran but only got as far as the third. Killarney winner Carnet De Stage and Cahirdown Boy, a winner over hurdles here, are others to note.
