Verdict
Martin Brassil and Derek O'Connor look a formidable partnership and Locorotondo, who hasn't been out for a year, will be one to note when going jumping and could even be good enough for this. Huntsgrove stayed on over 2m3f at Limerick so it was disappointing when he weakened quickly over shorter at Killarney. Tim Doyle's horses can do little wrong though Answering has been one of the few disappointments. GLOWING ACCOUNT is by Le Havre out of a mare who won over 1m2f on the Flat so he should have enough pace to make a successful debut. Never Present was in front when falling two out in a point at Grennan in May and has joined John McConnell.
