Verdict

WORKAHEAD was a very good winner on his chasing debut at Wexford and should follow up. He really asserted from the second-last fence that day and went clear to win in fine style from previous beginners' chase winners Supersundae and Wild Bill Hickok. The latter is again in opposition today, but has a mountain to climb to turn the form around. Scalpnagoon was no match for all-the-way winner Net Boy at Ballinrobe but he's likely to reach the frame again, while Talk In The Park has no shortage of experience over fences but is in action here for the first time since January.
