Cask Mate looked a smart prospect behind some useful performers when last seen though that was almost three years ago. He's still only seven so could make up for lost time. Tirmizi, three-times a winner on the Flat, made a promising start over hurdles at Navan while Decimation cost €120,000 and has a nice pedigree for jumping hurdles. However, this looks a good opportunity for TULLYBEG, who won a bumper at Bellewstown before finding The Shunter too strong at Downpatrick. The latter was impressive on his chasing bow at Punchestown on Wednesday so the form looks strong. Pope Liam was engaged in the 4.20 at Clonmel yesterday.
