Ger Lyons has booked Jack Kearney with his 7lb claim to reduce dual winner Spanish Flame's weight with his regular rider Colin Keane on board TAMRAT. The latter was impressive when beating what looked a strong field at the Curragh and has a huge amount of potential. Nor Time Nor Tide won a Killarney nursery in a canter while Asian Daze has progressed with every run and completed his double in very good style in a Curragh nursery. After a promising debut behind Diego Velazquez at the Curragh, Old Faithful started odds-on at Gowran but ran green and didn't get the best of runs. Bid For Chester was staying on in a lucrative 6f auction race at Naas last week so isn't out of this
