Make A Track ran well in a Leopardstown Grade A handicap last month and both the trip and ground are in his favour. He had earlier landed a Limerick handicap when left clear at the last with Lookoutnow a long way behind though he would have scored anyway. Aupcharlie only just failed to catch Back In Focus in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown just over a year ago. He ran poorly at Cheltenham later and has left Willie Mullins for Henry De Bromhead. TURBAN jumped his rivals silly in the lucrative Dan Moore Memorial Handicap at Fairyhouse last month, his handicap debut and only his fourth start over fences. He looks a smart prospect and a forthcoming Grade 2 entry suggests he should be up to this.
