Breakeven won a couple of point-to-points in impressive style earlier this year and has joined Tom Mullins. Siberian Star has been staying on at one pace and could probably do with testing conditions but Cabin Hill did well in bumpers and made a successful debut so the lack of a run shouldn't be a concern on his hurdling bow. RIPPON LODGE has run very well in handicaps the last twice, the latest over 3m1f at Kilbeggan, so gets the nod to gain his first victory. Silk Worm made mistakes when placed over the track and trip last month but a better round would see her in the firing-line while Will You Win led for a long way in a Kilbeggan maiden though was engaged in the 4.40 at Downpatrick yesterday.
