Verdict
The very busy and versatile Effernock Fizz appears to run every other day and did well to chase home the smart Visionarian at Ballinrobe on Monday. I A Connect battled on to hold off Walnut Beach at Tipperary though was beaten a long way behind Uncle Phil at Kilbeggan earlier. The latter has a lot of scope as does LUCKY ZEBO, who completed a double over hurdles in the spring before an impressive chasing debut at Kilbeggan. Joyeux Machin disappointed at Galway but would have a chance on his previous two starts on this track.
