Paistiul bounced back to form at Navan and would be a leading player if getting a run from his reserve spot. He had Red Vermillion less than 2 lengths behind in third that day but the latter will be 5lb worse off with Cool Colonnade for half-a-length at Tramore earlier. POSEIDON (NAP) has progressed into a smart hurdler and is now rated 137 after landing a strong Killarney handicap so a Flat rating of 70 plus Sam Ewing's 10lb claim can see him double his winning tally on the level. El Tren gained the eighth victory of his career at Navan though he's never won over the trip while The Jam Man, rated 143 over hurdles, would have an obvious chance if transferring that form to the Flat.
