3. Never Enough Time (Tom Foley)

Never Enough Time ran out a most impressive winner of the two-mile handicap hurdle at Leopardstown on Hennessy Gold Cup day, and there is every chance that there is more to come.

The Tom Foley-trained gelding has a really likeable progressive profile now. Winner of just won of his first eight races over hurdles, he has now won his last two. He was raised 14lb for an easy win at Gowran Park in January, but he made light of that at Leopardstown, travelling nicely for Ger Fox and showing a fine turn of foot from the final flight to catch and pass the well-fancied Blacklough, coming four lengths clear by the time he reached the winning line.

His new Irish mark of 140 is another 10lb higher than the mark off which he won on Hennessy day, but his British mark is just 1lb higher, which is fair. He is entered at Leopardstown on Sunday, but, owned by JP McManus, you have to think that Cheltenham will be high his agenda. He is in the Martin Pipe Hurdle and the County Hurdle, and he would be of interest if he lined up in either. Ger Fox would be a significant asset if he were to take his chance in the conditional riders' race.

Watch the race for yourself, if you hadn't already. The horse that toys with a couple of above-average rivals has been given a mark of 135. What's more, a stiffer track and quicker pace can only suit Knight of Noir, who travels strongly yet has the background of a stayer. He's entered in the Coral Cup and Martin Pipe: if connections see at home what we've seen on the track, they ought to keep Vieux Lion Rouge to two miles and let Knight of Noir bid to become their first winner of a race they've always seemed destined to farm
