Well he did run a faster time carrying 9lbs more. Won't tell the whole story but still a decent hurdle debut.
Slower first circuit and then much faster from 5th last hurdle to 3rd last hurdle than both Ginto and Commander of Fleet. He did well to pick up again after jinking to the left after the 3rd last and still running very slightly quicker from there to the line than Ginto.
Absolutely no reason for him to move up in trip next time out IMO.

Exactly how I saw it.
The third last was just as they had been accelerating. And seemed to set him back, but he got galloping again and did it well.
Can make it look more of a staying performance than it was.
These horses would do well, at least not disgrace themselves at either or even all three trips more often than not anyway.
You can often narrow it down to the 2 options, but it's connections who'll choose nearer the time based on all sorts of shit.

I am not saying he NEEDS to step up in trip, just that imo he looks like he would stay fine over 3m.
As Q says, its connections that will decide races for various novices they have.
Hes one that imo could run well over both trips, some they might feel may not be.
…..be interested in what Mullins says about that performance from Whatdeawant, he normally puts an article out on Monday reviewing his weekend runners.
The trio stretched 19 lengths clear of Prevaricate in fourth. Danny Mullins said, “It was a good performance. Even though I was a few lengths down I was always getting the feeling off him that I would get there.
“It's his first run of the year and hopefully he'll step forward again. His bumper form is fairly solid from last year and hopefully he'll keep developing into a nice novice hurdler.
“He'll probably get further than two-and-a-half but when the ground gets slower, the way he picked up in the last furlong-and-a-half, you wouldn't mind coming back.
“You'll probably see the best of him over further but he's not going to be stuck going staying trips as there is a little bit of class with him too. It's a grand starting point and his bit of class told today.”
More in depth quotes FWIW, they've probably been put up here already but just in case. Irishracing are far better for quotes in the main. Sometimes the RP has no quotes under the horse profile, but irishracing has managed to get them..
Perhaps they'll keep him 2m4 until spring judging by that, but early days to be sure.
Jumping is still poor but stayed on well. Should really be winning that to be up to AB class.
I liked Churchstone today. Looked to me that he was given a tender ride running on strongly at the finish. Elliott horse Humble Story gave the form a boost considering Church was giving him a stone & a stuffing. In the book @50s

Maybe I'm being slightly harsh but expected his jumping to improve again today and we've got to assume the winner improved considerably for the step up in trip.
Barony Legends set to run in Albert Bartlett trial on Saturday at Cheltenham.
Another with the Morans.
If he were to win that.
Quite fancy him saturday as well, but will await who runs as it looks potentially decent.
Race usually throws up decent stayers in the long term.
