Verdict

It took a while for GEALACH to get the hang of hurdling but progressed well to win last time out at Punchestown. The gelding looks currently on the upgrade and will not have to improve too much to land this. Stablemate Aramax was a winner in France last July but fell on her Irish debut on Boxing Day. He should be better for that run. Wolf Prince is another with winning form and did so over course and distance in December. Not disgraced when upped in class next time he is one to consider.
