BALLYBOUGH NATIVE lost his position two out when tackling 2m at Punchestown but picked up again from the last and today's longer trip can see him off the mark. Babylon Beach has had plenty of chances and looks vulnerable but the four-year-old Female Approach found 2m7f too far last time and her allowances put her in the picture. Patricks Hills' second to Dads Lad at Sligo in October now looks very smart form and his recent starts have been in bumpers so he looks a real threat while Dorans Boy has attracted support the last twice and only faded close home over 2m4f at Limerick.
