Another low-key affair complicated by the fact that both Flurry Yeats and Chase Me Charlie are also declared today at Kilbeggan. Pythion only weakened in the closing stages over slightly further at Ballinrobe and a repeat of that effort may well suffice but NEVENDON, placed at Lingfield when trained by Dan Skelton, was a bit of an eye-catcher having a first run over hurdles for new connections at Punchestown and may offer more value. Offaly Star is also worth a second look on debut.
