Verdict
HIGH CLASS HERO confirmed the promise of his chasing debut when landing the odds with a bit in hand at Punchestown last month and can take the step up in grade in his stride with further improvement on the cards. Common Practice wasn't ideally suited by the way the race developed at Wexford on his most recent outing and remains with potential.
