Verdict

GREENHILLS OF CORK produced a promising first effort when fourth in a big-field bumper at Listowel in September, form which has worked out well, so he's taken to strike at the second time of asking with improvement on the cards. Thinkitdontjinxit is a most interesting Rules newcomer having been purchased for £185,000 following an easy victory in points, while Drombane looks another likely improver.
