Representing beat a huge field over timber at Punchestown in May and made a bright start over fences here a few days later. He's probably better than he showed at Navan last time and is on the short-list. Bold Present made rapid improvement over timber early this year and, though well beaten on his chasing debut at Wexford in October, there's more to come from him. LOCKDOWN'S pedigree is all about jumping fences so he did well to show potential over timber around this time last year. He ran well for a long way on his chasing bow at Cork in October when Souvenir Royal was well beaten and can get off the mark. Fairwood Massini looks best of the remainder as the four-year-old Al Dafa could need the experience.
