Verdict

POWER OF KNOWLEDGE is bred to be an above-average prospect and, with his recent bumper debut under his belt, looks to have been found a good opportunity to make a winning start over hurdles. Midfield Magic shaped well on debut for Tom Dreaper and should have more to offer now with Gavin Cromwell, while Tomthescaffolder is also capable of being involved if bouncing back from an odds-on defeat last time.

12	Bred in the purple but was easy to back and showed plenty of greenness when 6¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Teofil in bumper at Galway on debut. Represents top connections, though, and looks to have been found a very winnable opportunity now starting out over hurdles. 1st Pick 12 Power Of Knowledge (Ire) Jockey: M. P. Walsh Trainer: W. P.

7	Poet's Word gelding who exceeded market expectations when 17¾ lengths fourth of 25 to Colcannon in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on debut/only start for Tom Dreaper. Has joined a yard that's been in good form of late and surely has more to offer after just a single outing. One to consider. 2nd Pick 7 Midfield Magic (Ire) Jockey: C.

9	In frame on all 3 starts in maiden hurdles, posting his best effort when 13½ lengths third of 14 to Newbrook Diamond at Wexford in July. Failed to meet expectations (10/11 favourite) when only fourth in similar event there on latest. Claims on that prior effort but needs to bounce back. 3rd Pick 9 Tomthescaffolder Jockey: D. J.
