Hadn't shown a great deal in a handful of runs over hurdles for current connections but got back on track returned to the level after 11 months off when third in Ballinrobe maiden and claims if building on that.

Improved upped in trip when sixth of 20 in handicap at Navan (13f, good) 46 days ago, never nearer after meeting trouble before final 1f. Bit to find here but could have more to offer over middle distances.

Showed more than first time up when fifth in Killarney maiden on return. Plenty to find here but she's unexposed and step up in trip will suit.

Shaped as if still in form at the Curragh last time and will find this much less competitive trying a new trip.

Capitalised on a drop in grade to win a Dundalk claimer in March. Runner-up in maiden hurdles at Tramore and Killarney after before finding handicap at the Curragh too competitive. Excellent opportunity back at this level.

Forecasts

Tyson Fury (6/5), Merlin The Wizard (9/4), Kakori (7/2), Blackjack Hills (5/1), Metamorphic (14/1), Taj Crown (18/1), Wolfpack (20/1), Glendower (22/1), Timandi (25/1), Peace Walk (66/1), Dreamed To Dream (80/1), Zammawar (200/1)

Verdict

TYSON FURY can capitalise on the drop in grade for the second time this year. Merlin The Wizard and Glendower are feared most.
