In depth

Verdict

URBANIST has failed to follow up a stylish Punchestown success on New Year's Eve but has still displayed plenty of ability on both subsequent starts. A strong traveller well suited by forecast conditions, the move back to 2m seems sure to suit and he went well for Patrick Corbett when the combination only failed narrowly on his penultimate start. I'm Serious has suggested his turn is nigh the last twice and rates short-list material while Rock On Barney has been running with sufficient credit on recent starts to play a role once again. Perhaps Yeats Baby is one to note in the market as he makes his first start for the Flood yard after leaving Martin Todhunter.
