Verdict

It was a surprise to see Kilcarry Bridge reverting to hurdles at Thurles on Sunday after an excellent run behind Sitcom over fences there last month. JUPITOR had only looked moderate over fences before an encouraging handicap debut at Navan where he made Oscars Business pull out the stops. That sort of form should be good enough as Coole Avenue hasn't shown much over fences and connections resort to a first-time visor. Springfield Way has easily the best form of these but an absence since finishing tailed off in a Grade 2 hurdle at Leopardstown almost two years ago is a cause for concern.
