1	10 1st (10) (1/1 +27%) Winston Junior	1 1/1(+27%)	(10) Winston Junior 1/1, Forced to switch and finished strongly when second, beaten 6 1/2l in a juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham last time; sets the standard; effective over 2m; debut form has worked out well and looks open to further improvement. Second at Fontwell and Cheltenham; could do with settling better but he's the pick on form.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 +52%) Genealogy	16 16/1(+52%)	(6) Genealogy 16/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; that looks strong form; effective up to 12f on the Flat and, as an ex-Ballydoyle runner, is surely capable of better. 2yo winner for Aidan O'Brien; some promise in big field on hurdle debut; not ruled out.
3	9 3rd (9) (14/1 +22%) Talakan	14 14/1(+22%)	(9) Talakan 14/1, Ran to form when winning a 3yo race at Amiens by 5l last time; was with top yard in France; returns from a short break; market can guide on hurdle debut. Convincing winner on last of five Flat runs in France; likely type on British/hurdle debut.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 -65%) Down To Business	5.5 11/2(-65%)	(2) Down To Business 11/2, Keen and made mistakes when third, beaten 9 1/4l in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury on debut; left with too much to do that day; trainer in form; effective 10–12f on the Flat and 2m over hurdles; progressive type who can improve with experience. Fairly useful on Flat; promising third on hurdling debut; open to lots of improvement.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 +39%) Macshadow Des Crai	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(7) Macshadow Des Crai 11/2, From the yard that won this race last year; ran freely and needed the outing when comfortably held in a juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham last time; effective over 2m on soft ground; French bumper form looks stronger since; likely improver. 20l sixth of ten at Cheltenham on British debut; needs to improve and that's possible.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/2 +0%) Novelista	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(8) Novelista 9/2, Ran to form when 3 1/4l third in a handicap here last time; consistent staying handicapper on the Flat; returning from a break and could get involved on hurdle debut. Not far off useful on the Flat, winning over 2m; commands respect on stable/hurdling debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +50%) Flash Man	25 25/1(+50%)	(5) Flash Man 25/1, Finished down the field in a handicap at Saint-Cloud most recently; modest form on the flat in France; returning from a short break and faces a stiff task here. 2-14 on Flat; new yard has more than respectable strike-rate; interesting recruit.
8th	4 8th (4) (125/1 -25%) Enziya	125 125/1(-25%)	(4) Enziya 125/1, Fell early in a juvenile hurdle at Taunton last time; effective over 2m on softer ground and looks one for handicaps over hurdles in time. 1m6f winner on Flat but has shown only modest form over hurdles; fair bit to prove.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (33/1 -267%) Brave Guest	33 33/1(-267%)	(1) Brave Guest 33/1, Improved for debut experience with a clear run when second, beaten 9 1/2l in a juvenile hurdle at Kempton last time; effective over 2m, handles heavy and good going, and looks capable of finding a maiden. Runner-up to a promising type at Kempton just after Christmas; may progress further.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (125/1 -279%) Elman	125 125/1(-279%)	(3) Elman 125/1, Fell when beaten in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; wellbeing to prove after that debut fall but should benefit from experience. Unplaced on Flat; weakening when falling on hurdling debut; others appeal more.

12:25 Ascot (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Down To Business raced keenly when making the frame on his jumping bow at Newbury and if settling better in a first-time tongue-tie, he ought to go close. However, WINSTON JUNIOR finished just over three lengths clear of a previous Grade 2 winner when second at Cheltenham and sets the standard with an official rating of 124. Novelista was a fair performer on the Flat and warrants a market check.

A tendency to race freely is a slight concern but WINSTON JUNIOR is the pick on form and can get off the mark.

1	5 1st (5) (13/8 +41%) The Jukebox Kid	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(5) The Jukebox Kid 13/8, Scored by 4l off an 8lb lower mark at Carlisle two starts back. Effective from 2½m to 3m and acts on good to soft ground. Progressive with more to offer over fences when ridden a little more patiently. This slight drop back in trip looks a plus; treated as still open to further improvement.
2	10 2nd (10) (8/1 +33%) Montregard	8 8/1(+33%)	(10) Montregard 8/1, Won by 2½l off a 6lb lower mark here two starts ago. Made mistakes and failed to handle the track when pulled up in a handicap chase latest. Effective at 3m on good ground; penultimate win franked, progressive until that latest effort. Record of 2-3 since wearing visor features a C&D success on penultimate start.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +50%) In D'or	3 3/1(+50%)	(4) In D'or 3/1, Last year's winner; ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Sandown last time after being outpaced in a race dominated from the front. Effective at 3m on soft and good; consistent and may stay further; could reverse form with last time out conqueror. Ran well at Sandown on debut for new stable; landed this race 12 months ago; big player.
4	6 4th (6) (17/2 +15%) Kap Vert	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(6) Kap Vert 17/2, Won by 7½l off an 8lb lower mark at Taunton two starts ago. Effective between 2½m and 3m on soft and good ground. Still unexposed over fences but may benefit from a slightly shorter trip. Has taken his form to a new level since upped to about 3m and switched to chasing.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 -9%) Eyed	12 12/1(-9%)	(9) Eyed 12/1, Disappointing on chase return when well beaten in a Newbury handicap last time, though had been in good form previously. Effective from 2½m to 3m on decent ground, but current mark looks stiff. Generally consistent but is considerably more exposed than many of these rivals.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 -65%) Issam	14 14/1(-65%)	(2) Issam 14/1, Won by 1¼l off a 6lb lower mark at Wetherby two starts back and improved again when third, beaten 3l off 136 last time. Up 1lb here; effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft and good ground; a progressive sort. Solid record (1213) since switched to fences; thereabouts provided he stays this new trip.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/2 +8%) Laganhill	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(8) Laganhill 11/2, Improved when second, beaten 9l, in a Bangor-on-Dee handicap chase last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on heavy and good ground; more progress expected over fences. Low-mileage 8yo; staying-on second upped to 3m at Bangor most recently; possibilities.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -100%) Outlaw Peter	50 50/1(-100%)	(1) Outlaw Peter 50/1, Outpaced and needed the run when 24l third in a Newbury handicap chase on latest outing. Returns from a short break; effective at around 2½m and acts on soft and good ground, though has not matched earlier form since his layoff. Disappointing favourite in sole start this term; enough to prove back up in trip.
11	11 \|F\| (11) (33/1 -106%) Minella Blueway	33 33/1(-106%)	(11) Minella Blueway 33/1, Outpaced and not knocked about when beaten 35l into third in a Chepstow handicap chase on latest run. Effective at 3m and suited by soft ground; could be worth trying over a longer trip than this. Only a modest third last time when attempting to make it 3-3 in cheepkpieces.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (9/1 -157%) Welcom To Cartries	9 9/1(-157%)	(3) Welcom To Cartries 9/1, Back to form down in grade on handicap debut when scoring by a head off a 4lb lower mark at Sandown last time. Effective over 3m; inconsistent but appears a thorough stayer and could progress now over his issues. Lightly raced 8yo; won narrowly at Sandown most recently; may improve further over fences.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -150%) Chavez	100 100/1(-150%)	(7) Chavez 100/1, From the yard that won this last year; probably needed the run and may not have stayed when down the field in the Paddy Power Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown last time. Returning from a long layoff; makes the running; effective around 2m4f on any ground; likely to improve for the outing. Market may prove best guide on stable/seasonal debut; still with same owner.

13:00 Ascot (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A lot more was expected of Montregard when he was pulled up at Kempton, but that effort was too bad to be true and he may be better judged on his victory over C&D prior. Welcom To Cartries is seemingly Harry Cobden's pick of the Paul Nicholls pair and it's easy to see why after his Sandown triumph. THE JUKEBOX KID failed to justify favouritism when fourth at Cheltenham, but this is just his third chase start and he could take a step forward to score.

Particularly interesting is LAGANHILL who ran promisingly upped to this distance last time. In d'Or is second pick.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +50%) Ooh Betty	7 7/1(+50%)	(4) Ooh Betty 7/1, Again below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time. Effective at 2m on a sound surface. Ran well in this last year but hard to fancy based on recent evidence. Hard to fancy on recent form but was third in this race last year and could bounce back.
2	3 2nd (3) (1/1 +64%) La Conquiere	1 1/1(+64%)	(3) La Conquiere 1/1, Won the Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed) at Newbury by 3 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Highly tried in bumpers, her form has been franked and she looks useful with more to come. Likely to stay further in time but looks a big player up in class. Smart in bumpers and has taken very well to hurdling; up in grade but may well be up to it.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 -44%) Sunset Marquesa	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(5) Sunset Marquesa 13/2, Ran to form up in class and probably got racing too early when fourth, beaten 4l, in the Unibet Mares' Hurdle (Listed) at Sandown last time. Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m, acts on any ground and continues to progress with increased distance; work to do to reverse form with Nurse Susan. Closely matched with Nurse Susan on recent Sandown running; unlikely to be far away.
4	1 4th (1) (2/1 +56%) Joyeuse	2 2/1(+56%)	(1) Joyeuse 2/1, Hampered and outpaced when below form in the Festive Handicap Hurdle here last time but worth forgiving that effort. Effective at 2m and may be suited by a slightly longer trip in time; sets the standard on Cheltenham spring run; could bounce back. Below par this term, including over fences, but very dangerous on last season's form.

13:40 Ascot (Class 1) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Nurse Susan produced a career-best effort to score in Listed company at Sandown earlier in the month and is bound to attract plenty of support. However, this drop in trip might work against her and that could leave the door open for LA CONQUIERE. Jamie Snowden's novice is unbeaten in two outings over timber, most recently in Listed class at Newbury, and she is likely to have more in the locker. Sunset Marquesa appeals most of the remainder.

The one with the most potential is LA CONQUIERE and Jamie Snowden's 7yo is taken to maintain her unbeaten record over hurdles.

1	6 1st (6) (6/4 +40%) Vincenzo	1.5 6/4(+40%)	(6) Vincenzo 6/4, Every chance and ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m; consistent performer who should be thereabouts once more. Reliable; runner-up in competitive events on last three starts and high on the list again.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 -40%) Bad	7 7/1(-40%)	(4) Bad 7/1, Scored by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton three starts back. Effective from 2m2f to 2m4f and suited by a sound surface; mark probably high enough and not the strongest finisher. Not at best behind Etalon here latest but still young and could turn the tables this time.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 -23%) Etalon	8 8/1(-23%)	(3) Etalon 8/1, Returned to form under an aggressive ride in first-time cheekpieces, landing the Howden Handicap Chase by 2 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Trainer in form; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on heavy or good to soft; inconsistent and stamina to prove. Far from reliable but made all over 2m3f here last month; chance if in the same mood.
4	5 4th (5) (28/1 -75%) Fugitif	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Fugitif 28/1, Displayed an awkward head carriage and found little when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 2 1/2m on soft or good; not quite the force of old but the handicapper has relented. Well below par of late and needs to be revived by recent wind surgery.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (7/1 +50%) Heltenham	7 7/1(+50%)	(8) Heltenham 7/1, Fell in a handicap chase at Aintree last time when tiring. Trainer in form; effective around 2m4f on good or good to soft; on a winning mark and in fair form; no forlorn stable second string. Back to last winning mark and probably retains his ability; interesting under 7lb claimer.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (12/1 -20%) Neon Moon	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) Neon Moon 12/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Travelled well and challenged too soon off a strong pace when fourth, beaten 8 1/2l off 132 last time, running off the same mark here. Effective from 2m5f to 3m on good ground; in good form but probably high enough in the weights. C&D win came in uncompetitive race and he was only fourth of six next time.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (7/1 +65%) Jungle Boogie	7 7/1(+65%)	(2) Jungle Boogie 7/1, Made his move too soon back from a break and needed the run when well beaten in the Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase at Cheltenham last time. Enjoys making the running and is effective from 2m4f to 2m6f on heavy or good to soft; remains lightly raced for his age and could build on that effort off what looks a generous mark based on C&D win. Tailed off on stable debut; needs to have come on a ton in the 16 days since.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (17/2 -55%) Scarface	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(7) Scarface 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective around 2 1/2m, handles any going; consistent, and his mark looks about right. Likes Ascot and ran right up to best when chasing home Etalon last time; in the mix again.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (18/1 -125%) Hitman	18 18/1(-125%)	(1) Hitman 18/1, Landed the Old Roan Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2) by 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Aintree on his penultimate start. Best around 2 1/2m; remains well treated on old form but can be tricky to win with and is unreliable. Ended long losing run in the Old Roan but well held last time and needs to bounce back.

14:20 Ascot (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

The admirably consistent VINCENZO appeals after his second in the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham and had the measure of Bad (fifth) when he filled the same position there in the Paddy Power on his penultimate start. The Sam Thomas-trained gelding can uphold the form, despite Bad challenging on more favourable terms. Etalon had Scarface (second) and Bad (fourth) behind when successful here last month, although this longer trip could be an issue.

Scarface and Bad are respected but this looks a good opportunity for VINCENZO (nap) to snap a run of second places.

Effective from 2m to 2½m and handles soft ground; progressive since going handicapping though the revised mark demands more. Low-mileage 7yo; had fair bit in hand at Hereford; up 7lb but open to further improvement.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +56%) Tripoli Flyer	4 4/1(+56%)	(1) Tripoli Flyer 4/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in the Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1) at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; may have reached his level but mark looks fair on Graded form; threat if stamina holds up. Stiff task back over hurdles last time; lightly raced and not ruled out on handicap debut.
3	10 3rd (10) (17/2 -6%) Moveit Like Minnie	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(10) Moveit Like Minnie 17/2, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. In good form prior; effective around 2m and prefers a sound surface. Usually consistent especially at this venue but can be frustrating. Likes Ascot; beaten long way by Came From Nowhere at Hereford latest; needs to bounce back.
4	9 4th (9) (4/1 +0%) Surrey Lord	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) Surrey Lord 4/1, Improved up in trip when landing a handicap by 1¼l off a 6lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Usually held up; effective from 2m to 2m5f on good to soft or good ground; progressive and his form has been franked. Three wins this season, latest when upped to 2m5f; may not have reached his limit just yet.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -33%) Thanksforthehelp	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Thanksforthehelp 16/1, Ran to current form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Windsor latest. Blinkers first time; effective from 2½m to 3m but his mark looks high enough. Won in big field at Punchestown last spring; below par twice since but blinkers now go on.
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 -150%) Patriotik	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Patriotik 50/1, Unsuited by the way the race developed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow most recently. Cheekpieces first time; effective at 3m and stays further but in modest form. In good form last spring but woeful in three runs this season; difficult to recommend.
7th	2 7th (2) (8/1 -45%) Faivoir	8 8/1(-45%)	(2) Faivoir 8/1, Below form when unsuited by the way the race developed and well beaten in the Festive Handicap Hurdle here latest. Trainer in form; effective around 2m on heavy or good ground and capable off this mark. Veteran; third in the Greatwood at Cheltenham and not disgraced last time; should go well.
8th	4 8th (4) (11/1 +31%) Samuel Spade	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Samuel Spade 11/1, Travelled well but did not find as much as looked likely when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest. Cheekpieces first time; best around 2½m, barely gets 3m, so this drop in trip a plus; handicapper is relenting; very interesting. Back to same mark as convincing 2025 course win but hasn't finished in first six this term.
9th	7 9th (7) (9/1 +36%) Marche D'aligre	9 9/1(+36%)	(7) Marche D'aligre 9/1, Ran to form down in grade when second beaten 4½l in a handicap hurdle at Sandown latest. Effective at 2m and acts on soft or good to soft ground; back in form and less exposed than most here. Arrives after two seconds over 2m; should be involved again if staying this longer trip.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (22/1 +12%) Metier	22 22/1(+12%)	(3) Metier 22/1, Yard won this last year. Made too much use of but ran well to a point when fourth beaten 20l in a handicap hurdle at Sandown latest. Cheekpieces first time; effective at 2m and suited by soft ground; has dropped in the weights but in moderate form. Well handicapped on old form but needs first-time cheekpieces to have a positive effect.

14:53 Ascot (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Having had the measure of the in-form Surrey Lord and Moveit Like Minnie in separate recent encounters, there is plenty to like about the way CAME FROM NOWHERE is developing. He looked ahead of his mark with a cosy win at Hereford just before Christmas and a 7lb rise could underestimate him. Faivoir, who is a previous course winner over fences and rated much higher in that sphere, is potentially a big danger on these terms. Marche D'aligre is another with each-way prospects.

This can go to the hardy veteran FAIVOIR, third in the Greatwood in November yet able to compete here off 2lb lower.

1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -33%) Jonbon	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Jonbon 6/1, A ten-time Grade 1 winner who took this race last year; returned to form at a favoured venue when second, beaten 9l, in the Tingle Creek Chase (Grade 1) at Sandown last time; effective at 2m; a top-class chaser, generally consistent away from Cheltenham but may not be quite as good as he was; work to do to reverse form with favourite. Formerly dominant in this division but twice readily outpointed by Il Etait Temps in 2025.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -29%) Thistle Ask	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Thistle Ask 9/1, Won the Desert Orchid Handicap Chase (Grade 2) at Kempton by 10l last time; enjoys racing prominently; effective from 2m to 2m3f, acts on good to soft and good; not the easiest to keep sound but has improved markedly for his current yard and merits a chance at this level; will need to find plenty more though. 4-4 on good ground for new yard; hard to discount but will need another personal best.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (2/5 +35%) Il Etait Temps	0.4 2/5(+35%)	(2) Il Etait Temps 2/5, Won the Tingle Creek Chase (Grade 1) at Sandown by 9l last time; effective from 2m to 2½m, acts on soft and good; top class and still unexposed in open company at the top level, regarded as the leading 2m chaser though Cheltenham form remains a concern for spring; should be taking this en route. 7-9 over fences and slammed Jonbon by 9l in the Tingle Creek; has excellent credentials.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (7/1 +7%) Gidleigh Park	7 7/1(+7%)	(1) Gidleigh Park 7/1, Ran to form when tiring late after a layoff, doing best of those prominent when second, beaten 9l, in the 1965 Chase (Grade 2) here last time; suited by 2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft; progressing over fences with strong recent form for the grade; may just find this on the sharp side. Good second to top-class Jango Baie on return; more needed today but should still go well.

15:30 Ascot (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

It will be interesting to see how Jonbon fares with Harry Cobden in the saddle for the first time as he bids to follow up last year's success. That said, the task at hand is a lot tougher with his Tingle Creek conqueror IL ETAIT TEMPS making the trip over from Ireland. Willie Mullins bids for a fourth win in the contest after saddling Un De Sceaux to three consecutive victories and it is difficult to see Jonbon finding nine lengths and more to reverse the form. Gidleigh Park is interesting dropping back in trip but has plenty to find on figures, while the much-improved Thistle Ask will ensure there are no hiding places on the front end.

Jonbon again looks vulnerable to IL ETAIT TEMPS who hammered him in the Tingle Creek. Gidleigh Park may pose the main threat.

Returning from a long layoff and wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 2m on a sound surface and type to improve over hurdles. Promising second in bumper last spring and he's related to lots of winners over jumps.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft; form has been franked emphatically; more to come for this top yard. Promise all three starts; Hereford win is already working out well; big chance.

Effective at about 2 1/2m and acts on soft; knew his job first time and should progress further. Hugely impressive winner on hurdles debut; meets stronger opposition but could be anything.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 +27%) Tobyshill	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Tobyshill 8/1, Made a promising start when winning a maiden point at Portrush by 14l on debut. Off a short break. Effective at 3m in points and brings plenty of potential to rules racing. Strong at finish when winning Irish point in October and commands respect on hurdles debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (14/1 -87%) Minella Marathon	14 14/1(-87%)	(3) Minella Marathon 14/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Trainer in form. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective around 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft; likely to do better back up in distance. Easy winner on hurdles debut and defeat next time came in stronger race; retains potential.
7th	5 7th (5) (150/1 -50%) Betgoodwin	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Betgoodwin 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Returning from a short break and difficult to make a case for. No promise when pulled up on hurdling debut at Ffos Las; hard to fancy.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (9/1 +25%) Uptown Dandy	9 9/1(+25%)	(8) Uptown Dandy 9/1, Outpaced by the winner but rallied and looked to need a stiffer test, running to form when second beaten 1 1/4l in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time behind classy rival. Effective around 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good; debut form franked and longer trips should suit. Proving consistent and beaten off only on run-in at Doncaster last time; not ruled out.

16:05 Ascot (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Kasino Des Mottes struck at Kempton before not being beaten far in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham's December meeting. The drop in trip is unlikely to hamper him, but LAGUNA BEACH is preferred. The form of his Hereford victory received a boost earlier in the week when the third came out and won at the same venue. The five-year-old has progressed with each run to date and shapes as though he has further progression to come. The Burren Man, Tobyshill and Uptown Dandy add further spice to what could be an informative contest.

With his hurdles form working out well, LAGUNA BEACH heads the list, although The Burren Man could be anything.
