Thyne Again is likely to head to the Punchestown Festival after a solid fourth in last week´s Arkle at Cheltenham.

Liam Burke´s seven-year-old travelled well throughout the race before being left in Tidal Bay´s wake up the Cheltenham hill.

The County Cork handler was pleased with his effort but feels a step up in trip could be the order of the day.

"He ran a cracker, he just didn´t pick up from the second-last to the last," said Burke. "On the day the winner was just too good.

"The ground wasn´t a problem, it was just disappointing that he´d travelled so well to the third last but he just didn´t pick up.

"He probably needs two and a half miles. He´s probably just short of pace for that sort of race - the winner was very impressive.

"He´ll probably go to Punchestown if the ground is safe."
