Get My Drift won a Leopardstown maiden, with Futurum Regem a long way behind, then ran in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse before splitting El Barra and M C Muldoon at Punchestown where he was only beaten a head. That pair are trained by Willie Mullins, who again has two engaged here. Marajman, an import from France, looked smart when landing the odds when making his stable debut at Clonmel in February last year but didn't reappear until last month when completely tailed off at Punchestown so is best watched for now. ROYAL RENDEZVOUS reverts to hurdling after a successful spell over fences. Twice a winner including of a Grade 3, he was beaten less than a length in the Galway Plate when attempting to concede Early Doors 7lb. Patience Patience landed a Cork maiden in November but didn't appear to act on heavy ground at Gowran a couple of weeks later and the remainder make no appeal.
