Verdict

The Cork race SPLENDID FELLOW finished second in back in December worked out very well and with further progress anticipated, he could be the answer. Drying ground may help Colcannon and he really should have a bigger performance in him over hurdles, with Newbrook Diamond expected to be thereabouts.
