ROUTINE EXCELLENCE (NAP) showed nothing at big odds over fences last winter but beat a huge field on his hurdling debut at Naas last month when heavily supported. The runner-up scored at Punchestown on Monday and is now rated 99 so coming here on his return to the bigger obstacles on a mark of 88 suggests Gavin Cromwell's charge is thrown in. Beating The Odds, a dual hurdles winner who has performed well over fences the last twice, has Jack Foley's claim to aid his cause and he comfortably holds Stealthy Tom on their run at Thurles last month. Flysini, who won this last year from 3lb lower, is now 14 and hasn't been seen since March.
