Verdict
Killiney Court had looked a certain future winner when narrowly beaten by The Parishioner at Bellewstown in July and went to Ballinrobe a couple of weeks later as an odds-on chance but looked once-paced when headed at the last after attempting to make all. REDROBIN has improved with every run and though all three starts over hurdles have been over 2m4f he looked to have plenty of pace when just touched off by Jamesmichael at Roscommon and can go one better. The Herds Garden was headed right on the line in a 2m2f bumper at Limerick in April before disappointing at Killarney and he looks the type to do well over timber. Some Drama has one or two decent bits of form over hurdles but over longer trips on much softer ground while Walk To Freedom showed some potential on his debut at Punchestown before finding 2m4f on testing ground against him at Roscommon.
