Johnny Kilawee's close second to Mighty Massini at Downpatrick last month was a fine effort and he's young enough to make progress over fences. Moscow Breeze is inconsistent and though Bringbackthebiff has competed at a much higher level his latest efforts offer little encouragement. WINDOW OF HOPE began his chasing career with a victory at Downpatrick in 2008 and then ran the classy Trafford Lad close in a Punchestown Grade 3. He's had a couple of runs this year and hopefully they will have brought him back to peak fitness.
