Verdict

WARMER DAYS AHEAD shaped encouragingly when third on reappearance at Punchestown earlier this month and may be able to record a second career success. Gaelic des Chastys still appeals off his lower hurdle mark, having been left with too much to do here last time, while Opposite Ends is open to improvement upped in trip and is one to be interested in if supported.
