ROUND THE BUOY lost his maiden tag over 3m at Punchestown last week. A 12lb rise makes this slightly more difficult but it isn't the strongest of handicaps and a quick double looks on the cards. Iridescent fell at the first when well supported for a handicap at that same fixture and connections will be looking for compensation though some rain would aid his cause. Ocean Legacy also ran the same day when a very good third in a handicap over three miles but Shean Glory, still a maiden after a dozen starts, dropped back to the minimum when narrowly beaten at Limerick last week. Winston Wolfe was running well at the beginning of last year but has a long absence to overcome.
