Verdict

Typhoon Flyer showed little between the flags but made an encouraging bumper debut at Listowel last month. But RAINBOW TRAIL was headed on the line by Mint Boy at Corbeagh House in December and the winner has scored over hurdles subsequently. He's joined Gordon Elliott and can make a successful debut under Rules. Apple's Of Bresil was well supported for his bumper debut at Punchestown in April but was very green. He'll have come on for the experience while Bonavena is bred for the Flat so should have more basic speed than most of these.
