It's difficult to get excited about any of these though a couple have the scope to do better. They include Eagle Moon, who showed potential in France before joining Henry De Bromhead, and Felino De Bersy, well beaten in a Leopardstown bumper but not bred for the Flat. Haggard Lad was a 100/1 chance when beaten 18 lengths into third at Thurles though a better round of jumping can see him go close but a chance is taken with LONG MARCH, who is back with the in-form Gavin Cromwell after a spell in the UK.
