Verdict
Barbary Master was racing in strong company earlier this year and made most when runner-up over 2m4f at Leopardstown. Chinx Of Light made a cracking debut at Punchestown in March, just failing to make all. With further progress guaranteed he should get into contention though FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU could turn out to be very smart. Gordon Elliott’s charge showed plenty of potential in his first two bumper starts at Fairyhouse before beating the useful Run For Oscar at Thurles. Paddys Planet landed a point-to-point in May and has joined the in-form Ross O’Sullivan.
