In depth
Verdict
THE BIG LENSE was travelling easily in a point at Cragmore in February when left clear at the second last. He won very easily an looks an exciting prospect for J P McManus and Gordon Elliott. The leading owner also has Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Uisce Beatha entered here and the son of Yeats is one to note while Daly Tiger attracted good support at Horse and Jockey in March but fell at the last when in contention so has to be a threat. Macardle has a nice NH pedigree and is one for the future.
