Autumn Showers returned after a break to run a fair race on fast ground at Killarney in August and wouldn't need much more to get involved. ALLEZ SEA was sent to Ffos Las for his debut in November but couldn't handle the heavy ground. He reappeared at Roscommon in August and produced a much better effort in what looked a strong event and this looks within his capabilities, especially with Jamie Codd doing the steering. Hardline beat two rivals in a point-to-point in February and went for 155,000 euros. He made his debut under Rules in a lucrative bumper at the Punchestown Festival in April and, though showing little, will appreciate this massive drop in class. Ask Susan is also taking a drop in grade following a mid-division finish in a Gowran Listed contest after twice finishing runner-up in similar events to this.
