Verdict

DUNDANIEL shaped better than the distance beaten suggests after 6 months after at Cork 18 days ago, let down by his jumping towards the end, and this low-mileage 8-y-o remains of interest. Itsalonglongroad ended his losing run fitted with this headgear at Tramore so is another to consider along with Name Me Famous.
