OUT NOW, twice a winner between the flags, looked very promising when narrowly beaten in maidens at Down Royal and Limerick before disappointing when favourite in a huge field at Navan. The latter race was over 2m7f and the return to today's trip should produce a better result. Alderwood ploughed through the Punchestown mud last week to post an impressive third place behind Tofino Bay over the minimum trip. He'll be suited by the extra here and looks a threat as does Steele's Rock, who reverts to hurdling after a couple of fair runs in bumpers. Rich Revival is penalised for his success in a Down Royal bumper in December and will do very well to make a winning debut over timber conceding weight all round.
