Neither Vedettariat nor VENITIEN DE MAI had an answer to Ryansbrook at Thurles when they occupied the places and though the former finished just in front it's Jim Dreaper's charge who can reverse the form and take this as his overall profile looks the stronger and the better ground will suit. Moores Road won a point-to-point on his debut and has been very consistent in bumpers and over hurdles, though he may have to wait for a handicap to get off the mark. Tongie showed much improved form to get within a couple of lengths of Aengus at Naas and wouldn't need much more to get into the frame.
