Captain Carleton made a very encouraging debut over hurdles on fast ground at Down Royal so it's a surprise to see him entered in a bumper. Myles Ahead has been progressing steadily and ran very well for a long way behind New Kid In Town at Roscommon but this is probably redemption time for TIRAULI. Willie Mullins' mare was narrowly beaten on her first two starts, both on fast going, and though not appearing to progress as expected she's been given time to mature and should prove a different proposition this year.
