Verdict
Accidental Rebel acquired plenty of experience in Ireland when trained by Henry De Bromhead while Hard Lines beat a couple of subsequent winners in a maiden point at Lingstown in November but this can go to HIGH TECH, who has been let down by his jumping the last twice but has placed around here and may have too much speed for these.
