Ankud was always in the front rank on his hurdling debut here last month as was Dollar Nolimit for his run here where he led for a long way. Farmers Lodge did well to finish as close as he did after a sticky round of jumping on this track, his first run for almost two years. Asian Master, a dual winner between the flags, has moved to Willie Mullins who has another good chance with JIMMY DU SEUIL, who went for €200,000 after two very good runs in French bumpers, the latest that has worked out very well. Monsieur Azul's second at Gowran puts him in the frame while Noble Talent wasn't right at Clonmel.
