Ordinary Man just ran out of steam over 2m6f at Thurles and he should go well from the same mark. BURNING ISSUES hasn't had much experience but is progressing fast and the form his two latest runs, behind Brand Ambassador at Navan and when beating Stop Road Lad at Gowran, have been franked so a 5lb rise looks manageable and he can follow up. May Dullea was behind him at Navan but has since produced a better run when only a length behind Tammys Hill on this track and a repeat should see her in the mix. Royal Chief is better handicapped over fences but Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh are a formidable combination and Mydor found 2m1f too short at Bellewstown last time after scoring over this trip at Tipperary.
