In depth
Verdict
KICK ON BOSS did well to finish runner-up to Moyle Park at Navan and though he disappointed when well beaten on a return visit this is a poor contest which won't take much winning. Captain Hox had shown promise in bumpers and will be better for last month's debut over hurdles at Leopardstown but Flame And Flower and the point-to-pointer A Grey Matter have only shown a modicum of ability. Noel Meade's newcomer Zip Wyatt is bred to be a staying chaser but any support should be monitored as this is by no means a difficult start.
