Verdict

ENDLESS TALKING failed to land a blow in a couple of bumpers during the winter but he was a wide-margin winner of his sole start between the flags and is appealing now switched to hurdles in a maiden lacking strength in depth. Blazing Duke and Thisain'tthat can fill the places.

5	Point winner and shaped with some promise starting out in a hood when seventh of 14 in bumper at Fairyhouse in November. Failed to build on that next time but likely to be seen in a better light now sent hurdling. 1st Pick 5 Endless Talking (Ire) Jockey: Keith Donoghue Trainer: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland J: Keith Donoghue T: Gavin Patrick Cromwell, Ireland	100	-	-	-	36%

2	Didn't get very far back from a break at Wexford but showed enough in maiden hurdles at Gowran and Naas to suggest that he'll be a force in a race of this nature. 2nd Pick 2 Blazing Duke (Ire) Jockey: M.

10	Showed plenty to work on when fifth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown on debut last month. Failed to build on that at the same course 2 weeks later but he remains of interest in view of that initial promise. 3rd Pick 10 Thisain'tthat (Ire) Jockey: D.
