Verdict
Razdan started favourite for his only run over hurdles at Ballinrobe in September but didn't get the run of the race. A recent run at Dundalk will have put him spot-on for this but HMS SEAHORSE (NAP) was a good second second to The Tide Turns latest and the form was given a boost when the winner ran very well in a Leopardstown Grade 1 on Saturday. Paul Nolan's charge can go one better though Global Export looked much improved at Naas and Coolcullen made a promising debut at the same fixture. Chacha Dancer showed ability on the Flat without winning and made a promising start over timber at Limerick on St Stephen's Day but must have been feeling the effects at Punchestown five days later.
