Verdict

WESTERN COWBOY (NAP) had subsequent winner Don Diablo behind when runner-up to Runrized at Tramore then bumped into a smart one when occupying the same spot behind Enniskerry at Downpatrick. He can get off the mark here as Hesamanofhisword has been racing on the Flat and over fences without success and is still a maiden after 21 starts. Mars Harper won a Ballinrobe bumper on his debut in August and though that was on good ground he should be better for his run over timber at Killarney. Fox Watch made too many mistakes when placed at Fairyhouse in February but a better round of jumping can see him in the frame again.
