P2P comment: Over Stated had failed to complete in three starts on the pointing circuit earlier this year but could easily have had a number of placed efforts to his name. The Shantou gelding made his third start in a five-year-old geldings' maiden at Monksgrange in late March and having held every chance jumping the last, he met the final fence wrong and ultimately came down. The second who he had covered that day has come out an boosted the form by winning a similar event at Taylorstown since. Trained by Tom Keating, Over Stated made no mistake when last seen and ran out an impressive winner at Bartlemy. Making all the running, under Rob James he showcased a potent turn of foot to get well on top between the final two fences, winning by 18-lengths. From the family of the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Carnival Town, a winner of a maiden hurdle and a beginners chase, Over Stated looks to be a stayer with more than adequate reserves of speed.
