Commentary

Crystal Ocean gelding who made it third time lucky in bumpers when seeing off 6 rivals at Limerick (heavy) last season. Stiff tasks at Cheltenham and Punchestown on next 2 starts but ought to prove at least as effective over hurdles if ready to go on the back of a 5-month break.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Dropping 8 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
