Instant Return hasn't made the expected progress from a promising start over timber at Galway in October. He finished 10 lengths behind WOLF PRINCE (NAP) when Gavin Cromwell's charge was third at Punchestown last month and the latter can make enough progress to take this. Top Line Tommy is held on that latter run but Dragon's Pass is the type to improve from her debut at Gowran. Millford Sound ran poorly at Cork after a better run on heavy going at Gowran.
