Verdict
Plenty of runners but few with realistic chances. FRANCIN, a dual winner on the Flat in France, put a poor run over 2m4f here behind him when a close third in a strong maiden at Leopardstown. That should be good enough though The Very Man has also been performing in decent company and Gordon Elliott should find a race for him soon. Pure Genius, a winner over 1m6f on the Flat in Italy, has run well in both starts for Ted Walsh but may do better over further. Pat's Pick won a Fairyhouse bumper back in April 2018 and though well beaten on his hurdling bow at Gowran in November will have benefited from the experience.
