In depth

Verdict

Few of these arrive in any kind of form but Ballybrowney Jack was in touch when falling at Tramore and should be capable of better. Little Haarth has been running over hurdles but was placed three times over fences at Wexford in mid-summer though regular partner Rachael Blackmore is on board ISLAND MASTER here. He won over 2m2f on this card a year ago and though 9lb higher he scored again over slightly shorter than this at Killarney in July and looks certain to make a bold bid. Pistol Shoot hasn't shown much under Rules since completing a hat-trick between the flags but Gunfire Reef was in winning form at the backend of last year and will be better for a run at Wexford in July, his first since January.
