Verdict
HIGH CLASS HERO confirmed the promise of his chasing debut when landing the odds with a bit in hand at Punchestown last month and can take the step up in grade in his stride with further improvement on the cards. Common Practice wasn't ideally suited by the way the race developed at Wexford on his most recent outing and remains with potential.

VerdictUseful over hurdles and made a successful chasing debut in impressive fashion at Wexford (2m) in July. Wasn't suited by the way the race developed back there last time and remains with potential. Cheekpieces back on.

VerdictUseful chaser. C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 125/1, fell in Scalp Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, good to soft) 41 days ago won by Ballyburn. This more suitable.
