Mount Masada was raised 8lb after winning easily at Fairyhouse but was still well supported for a slightly better race at Navan where he was making no impression when falling at the last. TYRONE TIGER has returned to action after a long break in excellent form and made the in-form Coolaghknock Glebe pull out the stops at Down Royal. He could have done without a 3lb rise but has won off a higher mark in the past and should prove good enough. That's A Wrap wasn't too far behind in that latter event and, as that was his handicap debut and only his fourth start, he looks a threat. Coole Craft has done much better since dropped to the minimum trip in his two latest starts and Asithappens may need further.
