Verdict

Figaroc was having his first start since arriving from France in 2019 when pulled up at Tramore on New Year's Day but was in touch for a long way over that 2m6f trip and is expected to do better. DOCTOR BRAVO won a Fairyhouse bumper then made a brave attempt to make all on his hurdling bow at Leopardstown where he was only passed on the long run-in by the unbeaten Dark Raven. Dual bumper winner The Big Doyen was beaten a length on his debut over timber at Fairyhouse then finished first past at Punchestown only to be relegated to second for causing interference. The Wallpark ran an excellent race over the track and trip in November and has more to offer.
