Verdict
Tomorrow Morning is an interesting newcomer to hurdling for Ted Walsh and looks just the type to do well in his new sphere. Lake Champlain was possibly unfortunate on his hurdling bow and made amends with a very pleasing display at Down Royal where he battled on well after being left in the lead three out. He has a penalty to carry and Masterchippy, who finished fourth, should get closer without overturning the form though Jessica Harrington's charge may have to give best to RASHAAN. Colin Kidd's well-bred charge was having only the second start of his career when landing a Roscommon maiden in impressive style and looks a smart recruit to hurdling.
