Verdict
Rathvinden had no problems beating this week's Kerry National winner Potters Point at Galway and though slightly disappointing when only third at Killarney will be expected to bounce back. Sea Light pulled up in the former event after making several mistakes but wouldn't make a quick reappearance unless thought capable of much better while Hand Of The King has already run twice at the fixture though has shown himself a very capable novice and should be winning soon. THREE WISE MEN looked a very smart prospect when beating Bamako Moriviere at Galway and the latter was dotting up here during the week when falling at the last. Henry De Bromhead's charge can take this before going on to better things.
