Verdict

The Tullow Tank once looked a star prospect over hurdles and fences though it's almost two years since he was just beaten in a Grade 1 over the bigger obstacles at Fairyhouse. He's only run twice subsequently and might just need this though he shouldn't be written off just yet. Nearly Nama'd completed a double in tough handicaps at Fairyhouse before beaten in a Listed contest at Thurles though that was well over a year ago. However, in the latter of those handicaps he had Mozoltov around 4l behind and the latter was conceding a stone so should reverse the form on these terms. A TOI PHIL has won a Grade 2 and a Grade A handicap over fences and his defeats have come when tackling the highest class. He has to concede weight all round which won't be easy though he'll have a fitness advantage over most of his rivals.
