Verdict
After landing a point-to-point on his debut, Up Ou That made a winning start in bumpers at Fairyhouse before finishing mid-division in Grade 1's at Cheltenham and Punchestown. Much is expected of him over hurdles and he'll prove a big test for ORDINARY MAN, whose hurdling experience may just come to the fore though it was a last-flight mistake that cost him victory at Clonmel last week. Gran Torino has shown plenty of promise in good class bumpers and looks a likely type for hurdling despite a poor debut last December while Down In Neworleans may have made a winning start over hurdles at Listowel if that 2m4f event had been over this trip and rates a big threat.
