The 2014 Triumph Hurdle winner Tiger Roll looked a smart chasing prospect when landing his first two races but has been carrying a double penalty and hasn't quite reached the heights. His stable also run Cogryhill, who was a bit disappointing behind Full Cry and tonight's rival Akito at Tramore last week. The lightly-raced DEANS ROAD (NAP) made all and jumped like an old hand on his chasing bow at Limerick in May then just ran out of steam over a longer trip here last month when Tiger Roll and Baily Cloud were behind. There's more to come from Henry De Bromhead's charge who can return to winning ways.
