Nicky Richards won this in 2007 with an ex point-to-pointer so Realt Mor, a very easy winner at Tallow on his only start between the flags, is one to keep an eye on. Rathnaroughy is another winner between the flags in Ireland and he showed ability on his debut in a bumper at Navan on his debut under Rules. James Lambe won this in 2009 and can repeat the process with DRUMBALOO, who won a Grade 2 bumper at Navan in December 2009. He hasn't shown much to date over timber since making a promising debut at Down Royal but has a good chance to get off the mark here.
