Verdict
Not What It Seems is on a roll but carries a double penalty and looks thoroughly exposed. Carlo Du Berlais should do better over hurdles having placed in a point and had a couple of runs in bumpers but High Yield will need to take a step forward having a first run for new connections. BALLYPOREEN has also switched stables but makes his hurdling debut. He has shown promise in bumpers and is bred for this sort of trip. A Definite Getaway cost €35,000 and has a jumping pedigree so should be noted if attracting market support.
