EMANCIPATOR made a winning debut for Terence O’Brien when scoring over fences at Clonmel. He can race off the same mark back over hurdles and should go close again. Iridescent has been threatening to open his account and finished second at Clonmel but Four Horsemen has failed to build on an earlier good effort here. Command Chain finished runner-up at Punchestown in February while Grey Habit has a shout on an earlier second at Fairyhouse. Stolen Moment and Stellar Stow are others with a chance.
