Verdict

VIVEGA could hardly have a better pedigree being a full brother to the outstanding hurdler Quevega and a winning bumper in France and a half-brother to numerous winners. He can make a winning start though there are plenty of dangers if he doesn't come up to scratch. Morney Wing made his racecourse debut over hurdles at Naas and ran well enough to suggest it won't be long before he's scoring while Lord Scoundrel has probably been a bit unfortunate not to have won in at least one of his three races. Like It A Lot would be the form pick on his narrow defeat by The Winkler at Galway as there was something amiss when he finished tailed off at Leopardstown. Ballagh looks best of the remainder.
