Verdict
BOONDOOMA probably doesn't have much to beat though will need to settle better than he did at Navan last time where he appeared to pull much too hard. The market should tell us more about the opposition but Fulton could attract support as he's out of a mare with a very strong pedigree. Cool Vinnie is the second foal of a mare who has already produced a useful hurdler in Party Rock so he is one to note while Vancouver Island is bred for the Flat so conditions may not be in his favour.
