In depth

Verdict

Desert Island ran Skyace close over 3m at Tipperary then found 2m5f too short at Tramore. Winning point-to-pointer Bourbon Borderline dropped back to 2m1f at Ballinrobe and ran his best race so far but he's yet to impress over this sort of trip under Rules. Hardwired has shown potential in bumpers though this could provide Jack Kennedy with a successful return after a long absence through injury as GET RICH DIE PLYIN has a very nice pedigree for jumping and can make a successful hurdling debut. Dancing Jeremy looks best of the remainder.
