Verdict
Oh'herewego completed a double over 3m but didn't get far on his hat-trick attempt at Galway, though still looks reasonably treated. Chapter Two had a fine record between the flags and in hunters' events before showing that stamina is her strong point when landing a 3m handicap hurdle at Cork. Lord In Red came good in a Roscommon maiden over 2m4f but this looks tougher while Lake Takapuna pulled up on a rare start over hurdles at Galway in August despite being on a much lower mark than over fences. STACKS MOUNTAIN (NAP) produced his best run to date when runner-up to the in-form Brex Drago at Clonmel. The winner is now rated 125 so Henry De Bromhead's charge looks nicely in here and can gain his first victory.
