AIONE - a winning point-to-pointer, bumper and hurdler - was returning from two year's off when placed on heavy ground at Gowran last month and, with that under his belt, can get back on the winning trail. The Priests Leap looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Limerick in December but hasn't made the expected progress while Old Town Garde makes his chasing debut after landing a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last March. The latter's yard is also represented by Grand Paradis, who made too many mistakes at Cheltenham after running into some smart performers in beginners' chases.
