Verdict

Carrarea won a bumper here before completing a double at Roscommon. He's been a bit disappointing so far over timber but it shouldn't be long before he's winning. Happy Du Mesnil has a smart jumping pedigree so did well to be placed in a French bumper a year ago while Neveradullmoment caught the eye on heavy ground at Wexford and can only improve. NOBLE BIRTH has only raced in bumpers and hasn't had the stamina test he requires. He should have no problems on that score here and can make a successful debut over timber. Stable companion The Waltzer is a definite improver but Whatsavailable was beaten a long way at Tipperary.
