Thyne Again ready for step up in class

Liam Burke is ready to let Thyne Again take on the big boys in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown next month following his impressive seasonal reappearance.

The seven-year-old, winner of the Irish Arkle at Leopardstown back in January, returned to action at Naas at the end of last month and coasted to a 20-length success.

The gelding is now likely to step up in trip and class at Punchestown next month and Burke is hopeful he can make the grade.
