With his yard back in top form, Change Of Velocity can show some improvement as his efforts so far this season have come on softer ground than he would have liked. CONCLUSION was just touched off by Bucky Larson at Leopardstown and was sent into Group 3 company at the Curragh but his saddle slipped and he was beaten a long way. This looks a relatively easy task unless one of the newcomers proves a bit special with Spiorad looking the most likely of them to prove a threat as both he and Grovel hail from yards going well.
