Verdict

STAR OF THE WEEK stepped up on his hurdling debut form despite still showing clear signs of inexperience when second at Down Royal and is narrowly preferred to the progressive Lynches Knock, who is a clear next best. French-recruit Dschingis Desire shaped as if needing the run at Leopardstown and can be expected to do better.
