THE GREEK showed some potential in bumpers before a fine hurdling debut over this trip at Fairyhouse when giving odds-on stable companion Old Town Garde a fright with the remainder a long way behind. Normal progress can see him go one better though Emily Roebling, a winning point-to-pointer, would be a major threat on her placed effort behind Velvet Elvis over 3m here in January. Dukes Mill had shown virtually nothing before a much better run over the trip at Fairyhouse where she only faded from the last behind much better-fancied rivals.
