Verdict

GIVE HIM A CHANCE wasted no time getting back to form when winning a 16-runner handicap at Naas last month and remains of interest up 6 lb. One Big Boum made it 2 from 2 in this headgear in convincing fashion at Fairyhouse and is the obvious threat, though Becasse is one to watch in the betting starting out for a powerful yard.
