Verdict

IRIDESCENT arrives on the back of a career-best win over hurdles under this rider so is taken to make a winning start fences in a weak event. Fr Gilligansvoyge caused a surprise when finally off the mark at Punchestown but the form is backed up by the timefigure so he must be respected, while the market should reveal what is expected of Ardhill, who's not been seen since winning over hurdles at Ascot 18 months ago.
