El Tren isn't the most consistent but has still managed to win seven times including an amateurs' race at the Curragh last time. He has to be considered along with A Few Bob Short, though the latter's only victory came over 1m1f. Aunty Audrey scored over hurdles in June but hasn't been in the best of form on the Flat while Randalls Ur Poet is 0-25. FULL MOON MAGIC (NAP) looked a likely future winner when staying on strongly over 1m3f at Killarney but found fast ground against her at Leopardstown. She's only had five runs and has the scope to go on to better things.
