Batcio has been improving steadily and has run two fine races at Punchestown. It will be a surprise if he's not in the mix again but PIKE COUNTY ran so well when just failing to hold on at Cork that he deserves to go one better with Conor Orr's claim a bonus. Rian Thomas is a half-brother to four winners and will be ready for this as will Westport Lady, whose pedigree is all about jumping fences. Earth Sister looked a smart prospect back in 2015 but hasn't run since October of that year.
