The Greek has had enough chances and hasn't improved from his form in the spring though a bad mistake at the last put paid to his chances at Gowran. Dual Flat winner Luke Short was beaten ten lengths by Vultan on that same card but is unlikely to run into one as good as the winner and he had The Big Chap a long way behind in third. MIGHTY POTTER was impressive when landing a Punchestown bumper and the half-brother to two winning hurdlers can make a successful start over timber though Onlyhuman, four-times a winner on the Flat and rated 97, has been placed in both starts over hurdles and was only beaten a neck in the latest of them in June last year.
