Won well last time out but seemed to enjoy the extra distance so the drop back in trip is a small surprise. Stable have hit form and respected in current mood anyway even if he is up 11lb in the hanciap.
Has been disappointing for this yard and probably prefers better ground than what's forecast.
Started last year with a bang for this yard but has been a little disappointing since, including times when he's been well supported in the market. Maybe not the most straight-forward and needs to bounce back.
Chasing mark looks stiff compared to hurdles mark and quite possible he's not what he once was. Probably needs relief from the handciapper.
Not the most fluent of jumpers but when it all comes together he can still get competitive and been droped further by the handicapper.
Tried over longer trips recently but this looks more his bag and should enjoy the conditions. No obvious recent why he won't be thereabouts for a yard bang in form.
Can make mistakes under pressure but got off the mark for this yard last time out and should build on that after some promising efforts prior.
Drops back in trip but looks in the handicappers grip for the moment and hasn't got his head in front since 2014.
Forecasts
Orbasa (4/1), Fox Appeal (4/1), Walk In The Mill (9/2), Some Buckle (5/1), Ballygarvey (7/1), Fergal Mael Duin (8/1), Aerlite Supreme (11/1), Crookstown (25/1)
The Tizzard yard haven't had FERGAL MAEL DULN long and the drop back in trip may be the key to him getting his head in front again. Walk In The Mill should be able to build on his recent win at Exeter and any rain would help his chance. Ballygarvey has his jumping floors but can't be ruled out if things drop right for him and a small field should suit.
1. Fergal Mael Duin
2. Walk In The Mill
3. Ballygarvey
