After a promising debut on this track behind the smart Deepone, NOR TIME NOR TIDE came up against another useful prospect at Dundalk last week and was eventually well beaten in third. That's still the best form on view and he can get off the mark. Enthralling pulled much too hard at Tipperary and is better judged on a close third at Leopardstown while Basilah Bear didn't appear to enjoy soft ground at Gowran. The Bear Trap has run in strong maiden company and may do better on his nursery debut.
