Verdict

SIZE FIVE cruised home on his first start following a 21-month absence at Perth and, provided he avoids the dreaded 'bounce' factor, this unexposed 6-y-o looks capable of defying a 12 lb rise in the weights with the distinct promise of better to come. Wa Wa returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Roscommon and he'll be a threat if able to build on that. Lucky Viv won't be far away if on-song, while Georgian Quarter and Midleton Rare are likely improvers now venturing into handicap company.
