It could be worth siding with BETTER TIMES AHEAD, who signed off last season with a decisive breakthrough success upped to 3m at Navan and he should be all the better for his reappearance spin at Gowran where he was returning from an 11-month absence. Robert Tyner's charge is unexposed as a stayer. Macdermott is untried beyond 21f but he remains open to improvement as a chaser and will be a threat if his jumping/stamina holds out here. St Denis's Well is also shortlisted.
