Verdict
YES TOM, formerly a more than decent hurdler, turns up here for the second successive time, having posted a very impressive victory over Blenheim Brook on his last visit. The Irish raider looks a real chasing type and was going well when coming to grief behind the high-class Call The Police at Gowran Park previously. He should be capable of giving 7lb to Railway Dillon. The latter has yet to take to the larger obstacles and will need to improve dramatically to trouble his sole opponent on the evidence to date.
