Verdict

Smart Flat performer ABSURDE shaped well behind his thrown-in stablemate Vauban at Royal Ascot in June and is very much of interest now returned to hurdles. He can make it 2 from 2 in this sphere, with Williamstowndancer and Space Tourist fancied to fill the places and bring up 1-2-3 for Willie Mullins.
