Verdict
Banquet Hill produced a decent effort at Ballinrobe last month but only got as far as the first on a return visit on Monday. Chapelier, who ran out at Clonmel in March, did much better there a couple of weeks later and has scope for further improvement but a chance is taken with OCEAN EXPLORER. He's fallen in two of his last four races over timber but has shown a bit of ability and this won't take much winning. Ballinahow Bill was in touch for a long way over 2m4f at Wexford so should be suited by this shorter trip and the market may prove a better guide to the chances of the remainder, who have shown very little.
