I wouldn't have thought so. Will try an go through the card with a judge that was on course. I'm sure he's picked up something today. Amazing that McDonagh would not get down to 8-4 to ride Ansaab.
 
Thought the Bolger horse was the best in the race by a long way.Looks like he will get 7 furlongs no problem and for a 2yo racing in March he looks decent.
 
Oxx hasn't had many runners in the Lincoln in recent times. I thought this was interesting and swayed me against place laying him.
 
I was with him on the basis of exposure to improvement, breeding and the ground would have been right up it's street being by Shamardal. Draw wasn't the worst either as it gave Johnny the option to go where he liked really. But the type of race it is, it was small stakes play.

All in all he was impressive I must say. Interested to see how he competes at Listed level and how far he can progress.

You're a good judge but you forgot Redoubtable. She is up only 2lb and the 2nd Rigoletta down 1lb. Quite clearly he thinks the form of the race is worthless. Redoubtable was rated a mental 99 last season after 4 runs. I think the handicapper might be giving her a chance having previously got her mark so badly wrong.
 
Going through the Leopardstown entries. CAPRELLA in the 5.25 looks a really fascinating runner. The form of her only run, a maiden win, amounts to nothing but she ran green and had loads in hand. It's worth looking at the run on ATR if she's declared. She could be put in a big price overnight.
 
He'll have to be at least a 100 horse to beat the KP horse. That does not happen often first time out.

I'm not saying it's definitely a 100 horse but his form is progressive and will be the one to beat.

Did you see the gallops in the Curragh after racing on Sunday?
