Verdict
Beating The Odds won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in November and was badly impeded on his chasing debut at Tramore, though he looks more of a staying type. Exit Poll, rated 132 over hurdles, ran a fine race when runner-up to Andy Dufresne on just his second start over fences at Wexford then found 2m4f taxing his stamina at Navan. Harrie hasn't fulfilled expectations and his jumping has left plenty to be desired but WHATSNOTOKNOW made the very smart Franco De Port pull out the stops on his second start over fences at Thurles in November and has finished runner-up over hurdles subsequently. Recent Revelations was well beaten on his chasing bow at Gowran though is a likely improver.
