In depth

Verdict

Course and distance third Corsair Prince and Wee Jock Elliott have already shown signs of ability. High Bridge has a Flat pedigree so shouldn't be short of pace and is a danger to all but MAHLER LAD is treading a well-worn route for those from his yard having won a point-to-point at Maralin last March. The second and third that day have both won decent bumpers in Ireland this season so the form has a very solid look about it and Donald McCain's five-year-old can make a winning start under Rules.
