Verdict

Bellow Mome had looked nothing special before making most at Punchestown where he revelled in the testing conditions. He's likely to improve again but will need to against A GREAT VIEW. Denis Cullen's charge completed a double in minor company before an excellent third behind Total Recall in a Naas handicap. Solatentif has been waiting for better ground, which he's unlikely to get here, but the four-year-old All Souls looks one for the future after a comfortable victory on his debut for Edward O'Grady at Navan. Oscar Lantern has had little experience but any money for the Thurles winner should be noted.
