Verdict

THE COBBLERS WIFE showed much-improved form starting out for this yard when landing a gamble over hurdles at Tramore and she remains of interest going chasing for the first time. Fellow chasing newcomer Run For The Border is a potential threat, while King's Son shaped well for a long way at Roscommon.
