Verdict

HIGH CLASS HERO improved again when taking his record under Rules to 4-4 in listed company at Limerick (21f) 3 months ago, that despite not looking the finished article. This rates a good opportunity to maintain his 100% record with the prospect of more to come. Easy Fella and What Path head up the dangers.
