A significant class dropper from A4, where he has been producing consistently strong performances at Kilkenny. Form reads 86, 74, 72, 71, 85, 70 — all six runs rated in the 70s or above, with two wins at A4 and multiple placed efforts. A dog averaging this level in A4 company represents genuine quality at tonight's A2 grade. He leads the field on both the model and the speed rating — the speed advantage is especially clear at 70, comfortably ahead of the next rival. Trap 3 wins 20% at A2 here. The one open question is the move to Thurles Park having raced primarily at Kilkenny — but a dog of this consistent ability should adapt. He has just the one A2 run showing but it produced an 86, which would win most A2 races at this track.
