Verdict
Swordsman had three runs over fences in 2019, scoring at Roscommon on his debut. He easily won a Killarney handicap hurdle last month and Jordan Gainford's claim is a plus. Friary Rock won a similar race at Wexford but then ran poorly in novice company at Killarney when MYTH BUSTER finished third and Ya Boy Ya just behind. The former has competed at a high level and though he's only won once can double his winning tally. The stable also run Trainwreck, who is 0-13 over fences while Willie Mullins' Harrie has mainly disappointed since an easy victory at Thurles.
