FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - AXIOMATIC has to be of some interest as one of the bottom weights in his first handicap chase. Jordan Gainford takes the reins for the initial occasion, with that very valuable seven pound claim, and hopefully his mount can come alive with the addition of cheek-pieces. Axiomatic is out of an unraced half-sister to a top class racemare in Cailin Alainn, and though he’s without success in ten track outings now could be the time to catch him. He learned from a fall he took first time out to win on his second start in point-to-points. That was when the Milan gelding was a four-year-old, on St Patrick’s Day 2018. Maybe a bit of better ground and a 117 day break can see Axiomatic in a better light here. Shanroe Al C, Optical Confusion and An Marcach are all short-listed as well.
