Verdict

Batu Ferringhi may have been flattered by his proximity to Berea Boru and Gate Please in a slowly-run race over 2m4f here 12 days ago and GOING CONCERN probably has more scope. He showed promise in a couple of bumpers last season after winning a point-to-point at Ballinaboola and the switch to hurdles should suit. Rolling Maul is a dual bumper winner but has proved a big disappointment so far over timber.
