L'yser looks the type to improve markedly this season and is probably on a lenient mark. Building Bridges won twice in the summer and a recent run at Dundalk will have put his straight. UNANSWERED (NAP) has won five of his last eight on the Flat and over hurdles and finished runner-up in another two. A winner at Cheltenham last month, he's still on a very favourable mark and can go in again. Conna Cottage started odds-on for a Clonmel maiden and supporters hardly had a moment's concern. This is a step-up but he looks well treated for his handicap debut. Luimneach had a bit to spare in a Limerick maiden and there's plenty more to come.
