Verdict
Golf Marin is owned by J P McManus and showed the benefit of his opening run when only weakening from the last over this track and trip last month. Summer Tide showed a bit of potential in bumpers and made a promising start over hurdles at Downpatrick, though that was over much further. RUMOROSO, runner-up in France back in September 2018, had the form boosted when the third scored at Chepstow so Willie Mullins' charge looks to have been found a winning opportunity on his debut for the yard despite a long absence. James Fort looks best of the remainder.
