TIMBUKTU has some fancy entries next month and, though returning from a 400-day absence, is fancied to make a winning reappearance in the hands of Seamie Heffernan stepping up to 1m for the first time. Catalyst was second on her debut over this trip at Naas and filled the same spot over 7f at the same track next time. But the returning Private Paradise probably has the better form having run well behind Words and Devonshire in a couple of races at the Curragh last year. Jolyne should improve on her third at Naas though does have ground to make up on Catalyst. Burn The Bond is best watched on her reappearance.
