Verdict

Jack Aboo landed a maiden hunter chase at Clonmel but ran poorly when stepped up in grade at Fairyhouse a few days later. MTADA SUPREME was a bit fortunate to beat the useful James in this last year and was behind today's rival Hasty Times in a point-to-point at Punchestown last time, though experience of this track could prove vital and he's taken to come out on top. Der Kaiser will have needed his latest run after a very long absence but Harbour Pirate arrives in winning form having comfortably landed a point at Farmacaffley last month. Illusion Of Time won easily on the same track but didn't do quite as well when stepped up into a hunter chase at Downpatrick.
