Verdict

Lunar Power has been in excellent form on the Flat all year, gaining his second victory impressively at Leopardstown last month. He'll have learnt plenty from his hurdling bow at Down Royal and looks a danger to Gordon Elliott's pair. DOCTOR CHURCHILL won a couple of all-weather races in Britain and ran better than his finishing position suggests on his debut for the yard at Fairyhouse. He'll come on a bundle for the experience and can see off the threat of stablemate Iberique Du Seuil, who had no answer to White Pepper at Galway but will also have benefited greatly from the run. French import Swinging London may prove best of the newcomers having been placed three times on the Flat though in minor company.
