Lord Scoundrel made a successful hurdling bow on fast ground in October and, though not quite as happy in softer conditions later, has the potential to do better and has to be on the short-list. The four-year-old A Sizing Network chased home Rock The World at Punchestown three weeks ago and, with further progress virtually guaranteed, looks certain to make his presence felt. PEOPLES PARK was heavily supported on his first start over this trip at Fairyhouse and came with a smooth run to catch Eight Till Late. The runner-up would have to be a threat on the revised terms but the winner had something in hand and is taken to complete the double. Jimmy Two Times is progressing nicely and beat a big field at Clonmel in impressive style and though Perrie Hill remains a maiden he went close at Tramore and can go well from the bottom of the handicap.
