Verdict
Journey West hadn’t shown much before a comfortable victory in first-time blinkers when well supported at Downpatrick. He’s up 8lb and the headgear will need to work again to defy the extra. Bonne Debut showed her liking for this trip at Punchestown where she beat a big field with something to spare though he’s been raised 9lb. IRIDESCENT had been running well before finally getting off the mark at Cork and though 8lb higher can go in again. It’s Time Again is progressing nicely and should make a bold bid for a hat-trick after a Ballinrobe double while Yulong Voice ran very well over the trip at Tipperary.
