Mick Winters does well with former point-to-pointers and could have another nice one on his hands in the mare Wind And Reign, who made a successful debut when strongly supported at Oldcastle in April. Criminate was having his first start for a year when attempting to make all at Punchestown a couple of weeks ago so he did well to finish close up after being headed at the last. Logical Song had his jumping problems in France and fell on his debut over fences at Killarney while Russellstown continues to look one-paced and may need further. MICK JAZZ started out in France then went to Harry Fry where he twice finished in a place at Newbury before starting favourite for the Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham but pulling up. He was reported to have an irregular heartbeat post-race but presumably has overcome that problem and has the best form for this.
