In depth
Verdict
After a couple of fair runs, Isodon ran poorly at Thurles and may be best opposing with MORTAL. A 100,000 euros purchase, he's out of a French bumper and jumps winner with a superb pedigree and can make a successful debut. Bob Le Flambeur is a half-brother to a winning hurdler and is likely to do better when tackling obstacles, a remark that also applies to Zen Master.
