Verdict

SLANAGAIBHGOLEIR would have finished in the frame but for a last-fence error on chasing debut at Clonmel earlier this month and that valuable first experience over fences should aid his improvement. Supreme Jet has shown encouraging form since returning from a lengthy absence, finishing second at Cork last month while seeing out the trip well. West Away showed promise in an August chase at Wexford and returns to fences with cheekpieces after an improved hurdles effort.
