Verdict

TOON TOWN has made a decent start for new connections and having been left with too much to do at Killarney earlier in the month, David O'Sullivan's 9-y-o can add to his sole previous success at the expense of Springboard, who capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here 5 weeks ago and now heads over the larger obstacles. Doyen Magic and General Clermont can fight out third.
