Verdict

ANOTHERWAY is getting the hang of things over fences now and his opening mark in this sphere looks very fair having scored in clear-cut fashion at Down Royal. Jigoro is on a long losing run but hasn't had many tries over fences and he responded well to this headgear when third at Thurles. More Coko was let down by his jumping last time but was an excellent second at Fairyhouse prior to that.

6	Posted his best effort over fences when 3¾ lengths second at Fairyhouse but was out of the race before it had begun in earnest at Leopardstown since.
