Flindt went up 4lb for last month's course and distance success and started favourite at Leopardstown three days later but found the 1m4f trip beyond him. Stormy Air has been racing over much shorter but has looked the type to be suited by stepping up and can get into the action, though a chance is taken with GREENPANDA. A very easy winner of a Ballinrobe handicap a year ago, he shot up the weights as a consequence and has only gradually come down and will be better for his reappearance at the Curragh. Happy Company, a winner at Navan in September, has been running quite well and Colin Keane is back on board while King Christophe won a Clonmel handicap last month though that was on heavy going.
