Verdict
BANG BANG ROSIE easily landed a Punchestown bumper on her debut for Willie Mullins and started a short-priced favourite on her hurdling debut at Fairyhouse where she led for a long way over hat 2m4f. She'll be better for the experience and can gain compensation. Or Jaune De Somoza was a 33/1 chance on his second start over hurdles at Limerick but belied his SP with a fine effort and further progress should see him in the mix. Los Alamos won a Punchestown bumper in such convincing fashion that he started odds-on next time at Down Royal but flopped badly. He didn't show much on his hurdling debut but looks the type to do better. High Grounds is rated 93 on the Flat having been placed at Group 3 level in the UK while Frankiefiveangels ran well for a long way over 2m3f at Down Royal and can get into the action.
