Verdict
Showbusiness was beaten a very long way into second at Thurles on Thursday but would be an obvious threat to all if turning out quickly.. His stable companion Bodhisattva showed massive improvement when a close third at Punchestown though that was over 2m4f on heavy ground. Attaboyarchie made a promising start at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago and is certain to have come on for the experience but the vote goes to HARIBO COLLONGES, who also raced in very testing conditions when a good sixth over this track and trip last month.
