Verdict
Pat Carey has always regarded SESKIN FLYER as a chasing type and the Thurles-based handler was delighted when he scored over hurdles at Tramore last month. He looks to have been found a good opportunity to make a successful start over the bigger obstacles. El Vasco, another winning hurdler, has been well beaten in both starts over fences while Goodthynemilan was tailed off on her only start over fences, though has since joined Gordon Elliott. It's difficult to get excited about the remainder as though Oisin James has won three times over timber he's done better on quicker ground.
