P2P.ie comment: Having benefitted from three outings throughout the winter, Ahead Of The Curve took a big step forward when recording maiden success at Dromahane in late April. Never far from the pace in the hands of Eoin O’Brien, the Michelle Gannon-trained Ballingarry gelding has the real profile of a chaser as the big strapping sort stayed-on powerfully off a very strong gallop to win by three lengths. As a measure of that strong gallop from flagfall, the race clocked a time 17 seconds faster than the day’s average. Well related to a number of track performer, he looks an ideal summer jumps type.
