Verdict
Winning point-to-pointer HARRY DES ONGRAIS stepped up to this trip for the first time at Gowran and ran easily his best race to date. He looks the one to beat though Happy Victory was in the lead at the last over 2m at Tramore before fading, though that was his first start since January so improvement can be expected. He can reverse form with fourth-placed Drumderry Harlem while Simpletwistoffaith has produced two good runs at Kilbeggan and has plenty of scope.
