Commentary

Trailblazer who has been resurgent equipped with headgear, continuing his winning sequence in claiming hurdles with an 8-length defeat of Tullyveery Lad at Roscommon last time. More on his plate to dominate a competitive handicap hurdle, though.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.
