Verdict

CLOUDED THOUGHTS has made steady progress in bumpers and followed his Clonmel victory with a fine run under a penalty at Wexford. He looks certain to make a hurdler and can make a winning debut. Battling Boru appeared to enjoy stepping up to three miles at Punchestown but Galloping Gander should find this trip ideal after fading over 2m4f on his last couple of starts. Golden Ticket ran moderately over hurdles at Punchestown last October but it was a different matter on the same track last month when he beat a huge field in a bumper. He looks certain to go well as does Mister First, who made a promising debut over timber at Clonmel.
