Verdict

FIREFOX, a useful 3-time winner in bumpers, marked himself down as one more than capable of making his mark at this level when successful on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse 6 weeks ago and earns the vote now upped in trip. Ile Atlantique, a similarly exciting prospect, may well emerge as the chief threat following his facile hurdles debut victory at Gowran. Croke Park could do best of the others in a race very much one to note.
