Did we see next years Champion Hurdler at Galway last week?

I was suprised to see the classy ROCK CRITIC being tried over hurdles last week. The dogs were certainly barking. I suppose it did not beat a lot, but the horse could not have been more impessive.
Old Dermot Weld we all know iis shrewd cookie. Rock C has a superior flat rating to that of the same stables/connections UNACCOMPANIED, who of course ran second in Triumph Hurdle on his first visit to Cheltenham.
Dare I say, you heared it hear first!
