OPTICAL CONFUSION was running well prior to running out in a point-to-point on his second start in that sphere back in May and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking under rules here. West Burma proved to be a disappointment when beaten on debut at Ballinrobe a year ago and he can claim second in this contest ahead of Joseph O'Brien's Thermistocles who was a relatively expensive purchase at the sales a couple of years ago.
