ROBIN THYME showed some potential at the turn of the year and was heavily supported on his reappearance at Wexford last month but found Tuzo just too strong. He will have come on a bundle for that run and should go one better. After two very good efforts at the end of last year, Beyond The Obvious reappeared at Fairyhouse last month but looked in need of the run and with his pedigree all about jumping he would probably be better with plenty of give in the ground. Antimatter attempted to make all at Punchestown last month and did not fade until the closing stages so he will strip fitter while Allenstown Kid ran well on his debut between the flags at Tattersalls Farm in December and should make a jumper in time.
