Court Tycoon was headed right on the line over 2m5f at Roscommon and though suited by the conditions has yet to prove he stays this far. The latter remark also applies to Allduckornodinner, whose latest victory was over hurdles at Wexford on good going. OCTOBER REVOLUTION has no problems with the trip or ground as he showed at Roscommon in August. He found 2m5f on good going too short next time and can get back to winning ways. Mossy White looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Kilbeggan and started favourite on a return visit but was never travelling and pulled up. That wasn't his form and he can do better but Gunfire Reef is still 11lb higher than when scoring here last November.
