FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SUPRISE PACKAGE was pulled up at Limerick but is a Punchestown festival winner with smart form. His Punchestown win was a fine effort and while also running well subsequently at Galway, his most recent run is a big concern. He was reported clinically abnormal post-race then but it is a possible positive that he reappears after just 44 days, suggesting his homework is good. Get My Drift is closely matched with the selection on a line through El Barra (which beat both horses) and while he himself was narrowly beaten at Punchestown, lacks a recent run and runs in a first-time hood. I A Connect beat Authorized Art by 2.75L at Sligo but Authorized Art can turn placings being 5lbs better off and having returned from a layoff. Le Correzien's only previous run was when winning over hurdles at Dieppe in August 2020. He is out of a half-sister to Grand Crus and having missed a full season, is possibly best watched on reappearance.
