Verdict
MAZYAD was receiving weight from several penalised winners at Ballinrobe but stayed on strongly and looks a nice prospect. He has to concede a stone to the very consistent Phils Choice, which won't be easy, while Listowel runner-up But What is also receiving weight. Liberty Flame has performed well in both starts while Gordon Elliott's newcomer Brandt is one to keep an eye on for the future. Fermoyle and Macs Lady are other well-connected newcomers to note in a race that should produce future winners.
