Verdict
FIRST GENTLEMAN, who has only raced on testing ground so far, was a bit unfortunate in-running at Limerick and can make amends. He finished just behind Desert Haven on heavy going at the Curragh earlier though had been impeded at a crucial stage and can reverse the form. Blue News found 5f too short at Cork having done better over further earlier but Treasured Soul looked as though he needed further when staying on over a mile at Limerick.
