It could be worth siding with TIME MARCHES ON, who performed with credit form out of the handicap at Punchestown last month and a deserved first success over hurdles is surely not far away. Suain Na Draoicht is open to improvement now that he ventures down the handicap route and the 5-y-o is next on the list ahead of decisive Tramore winner Cheerful Chap and Mont Saint Vincent.
