Verdict

It remains to be seen if ASPIRE TOWER will be able to scale similar heights to those which he reached over hurdles a few years back, but there were certainly positives to take from his chase debut third behind the smart Il Etait Temps here at the end of November. He shades preference ahead of Pinkerton, who was behind Feu du Bresil at Fairyhouse but he remains with potential and may well reverse those placings here. Zanahiyr has to enter calculations, too, along with Mighty Tom.
