Winning point-to-pointer The Comediologist has shown only moderate form in bumpers and over hurdles but this won't take much winning and he should be thereabouts. Kickham has been beaten a long way in all starts to date so the vote goes to JOHNNY SUE. He showed nothing in three early starts over timber but has improved dramatically between the flags and would probably be on a four-timer but for falling two out at Loughbrickland. Timmie Roe did a bit better at Clonmel last time and looks best of the remainder though this looks a race where the market may tell us more.
