In depth
Verdict
Quickpick Vic started odds-on at Limerick after showing promise on his debut but found Pumbaa too strong, though he was conceding 8lb. He should be thereabouts but OLD KILCASH may have his measure. A winner between the flags at Horse And Jockey last March, he made a pleasing debut under Rules behind Moyle Park here on St Stephen's Day when Top Othe Ra was behind and with that under his belt looks ready to gain his first success. Milan Bound was a bit disappointing at Fairyhouse after a very good effort behind Ned Buntline at Naas but recent winning point-to-pointer Azorian looks a nice prospect and should be watched in the market.
