Verdict

Morning Ireland makes his debut over timber and is obviously well regarded as he has started favourite on his last two starts in bumpers though he didn't look happy on heavy going at Roscommon last week. BUY BACK BOB won a couple of races on the Flat and though his jumping left plenty to be desired on his hurdling debut at Cork he made enough of an impression to suggest he can get off the mark over timber. Mundher ran very well behind Undertheboardwalk at Roscommon and should improve enough to get competitive while Scottish Reel has generally competed at a high level and can usually be relied on to run his race.
