Verdict

SCHOOL BOY HOURS was an eyecatching third on his hurdles debut at Navan over two miles, and this half-brother to the mercurial Finian's Oscar is open to plenty of improvement at this sort of trip. The consistent Aherlow sets the standard amongst the others, but a bigger threat may come from point winner Roundstone, who is surely much better than he could show in this sphere at Navan in January.
