Verdict

EXTRAPOLATION was largely progressive as he scored 3 times last year and, following a solid third at Punchestown (on back of 3 months off) 6 days ago, it would come as no surprise to see him go well again back up in trip. Limerick-scorer Cato's Revenge is a big threat, with Abbeydale another to consider with the step back up in trip expected to suit.
