A promising career beckoned for CORSKEAGH ROYALE after he finished runner-up to Cousin Vinny in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in 2008 but he's become very disappointing and hasn't always showed the right attitude. However, he won't get a better chance than this and was about eight lengths in front of Diophas when third behind Deal Done at Navan in March and there appears no reason why the positions should be reversed. Ballysassian looked to be getting the hang of the jumping game when a good third to Indifference Curve at Cork while Glacial Promise is a sound jumper who should get round in his own time.
