Verdict

Despite being more exposed than the majority of these, BANKS OF THE BOYNE can land a deserved first success. Runner-up in a Fairyhouse maiden that has worked out well, Michael Mulvany's charge has subsequently acquitted himself with credit in handicap company. An official rating of 79 sets a fair standard and the son of Space Traveller gets the nod. The Green Helmet took a step forward when finishing third at Sligo earlier this month and deserves consideration, while Togetherwearefree is an interesting newcomer worth noting.
