Verdict
Very little to go on here and the market could prove the best guide. Ashlea Dawn's run at Wexford was an improved effort though it was on heavy ground. ETERNAL STORY has been racing over the minimum as though looking in need of this sort of trip so may be good enough though winning point-to-pointer Paddys Planet was in touch for a long way over 2m5f at Galway and looks certain to improve. Barncroft has shown nothing to date but his stable is currently running at more than a 25% strike-rate.
