TIME IS A THIEF left the form of his hurdles debut well behind equipped with a first-time hood when readily off the mark at Tramore 37 days ago. Looking far from the finished article then, he's very much of interest again with the prospect of more to come. Colcannon and the returning Ifiwerearichman are others to consider, as is Down Royal scorer Berto Ramirez.
