In depth

Verdict

Donnrua Dream made a very promising debut in what looked a strong Clonmel bumper won by Shantreusse with Hemlock, who runs earlier, back in fifth. Normal progress will see him in the firing line while Hara Kiri is surely better than we saw when beaten at long odds-on at Gowran where the heavy ground won't have helped. Mythical Hero and Hey Johnny also made promising debuts while there are several unraced types to keep an eye on with CROWNS MAJOR perhaps the most interesting. A half-brother to four winners on the Flat in Japan, he hails from a yard that can get one ready and gets the nod though the likes of Whatcoloristhewind, a sister to a winning bumper and the mount of Jamie Codd, and King Of Cashel, by Ruler Of The World out of a mare from a top family, are others to note.
