I A CONNECT started a short-priced favourite at Fairyhouse in January and looked like justifying the support when travelling easily but found nothing when headed. This isn't the toughest of bumpers so compensation awaits. Elusive Specimen's yard does very well in this sphere and he's shown some potential while Senorita Madore showed good pace for a long way when tackling hurdles at Tramore. Favours Pay was beaten a long way behind Curlew Hill, who runs in the opener, at Downpatrick but could still do best of the remainder.
