Verdict

THE GIFT SHOP hammered a next-time-out winner on sole outing in Irish points and, having subsequently transferred to the Skeltons, he makes obvious appeal. Par Avion has already run to a level good enough to win plenty of bumpers and merits respect for a yard that took this race in 2024 with unbeaten hurdler Idaho Sun. De Inovator is another to note on his first start under Rules having joined a good outfit.
