Egyptian Warrior has been racing under Flat rules since his bumper days but looks the type to make a hurdler like his half-brother Gimli's Rock. The Black Devil has shown some ability over timber but will need to find more in this company but Ned's Indian looks a useful recruit to Sabrina Harty's jumping team after winning four times on the level for the County Kildare handler. TANDEM (NAP), who is rated 105 on the Flat and has been placed at Group 3 level, was expected to make a winning start over hurdles at Galway but couldn't handle the more experienced pair Most Peculiar and Draco. The latter has won easily since so the form looks strong and Dermot Weld's charge can take this before going on to better things. Crown Theatre showed his first sign of ability behind Effernock Lad at Downpatrick and the winner runs earlier in the day.
