Verdict

An excellent turnout for the prize money on offer and PRIMROSEANDBLUE can continue his progress and take this. Willie Mullins' charge ran very well behind Run With The Wind at Ballinrobe last month and there should be more to come over this longer trip. Roman Flight looked a nice prospect when beating a huge field at Cork and he's another very much on the upgrade while Clondaw Warrior wasn't beaten far by Mickelson over this trip at Ballinrobe though the winner was behind the selection last time. There was plenty of confidence behind Curragh Golan when he stepped up to 2m2f at Sligo and further improvement looks a certainty while Knockaunroe battled on strongly over the minimum trip at Listowel and has no problems lasting out the extra half-mile.
