IMAGINE won a bumper and a maiden hurdle on very testing ground before just failing in Grade 3 company at Navan. He can get back on the winning trail though Inothewayurthinkin came in for strong support on his debut at Cork and had no problems beating the long odds-on Lot Of Joy. The latter's yard is represented by Spanish Harlem, who changed hands for €360,000 at the Deauville Sales after landing a heavy-ground event at Auteuil though the form hasn't worked out. Eikonix scored at Epsom for Andrew Balding in September and may prove best of the remainder.
