Verdict
Our Channel is proving as inconsistent for new connections as he was for William Haggas last year and was a long way behind Mythical Madness in Listed company last time. The latter has won twice over the winter and beat THIRD TIME LUCKY (NAP) in a handicap here in December. But Richard Fahey’s charge re-opposes on much better terms in this and having run well behind the progressive My Target the last twice, he should find this easier. Andastra won a maiden race in 2015 and has her first start since while Bancnuanaheireann ended last year in poor form and Lanceur has been chasing without success since last seen in this code.
