Verdict

Having run out a good winner on hurdles debut at Punchestown, LEMMY CAUTION very much shaped better than the bare result when third in a small-field event at Wexford later that month. Given a break ahead of this and remaining open to improvement, he gets the nod to get back on the up in first-time cheekpieces. Surfin Usa and the selection's stablemate Playtime head the dangers.
