It's over two years since PAUL KRISTIAN last ran but he landed a point-to-point on his debut and a bumper after a long absence so it shouldn't pose too much of a problem and he can start making up for lost time. Noble Pageant is generally well supported but is still a maiden after 11 career starts and is beginning to look expensive but Jupitor has done well enough in bumpers to suggest he can make a decent hurdler. Ballyadam Approach is another who can make progress but Supreme Bob has yet to sparkle over timber.
