Verdict

Champoleon looked to be making steady progress before a poor run at Fairyhouse and will need to do much better. CHILDRENS LIST, a winning point-to-pointer, didn't run well in a bumper at Fairyhouse but reappeared with an impressive victory in a similar event at Tramore and can make a winning start over timber. The Gatechecker looked potentially useful when following his victory between the flags with a very easy success in a Limerick bumper so it was a surprise to see him beaten a long way on his hurdling debut at the latter track though he jumped poorly. Dromahane point-to-point winner Clounts Meadows has been beaten a long way in both starts over hurdles and though Tongie has been placed a couple of times he was a long way behind The Gatechecker at Limerick.
