Asian Master only scrambled home at Belclare to complete a double and will need to do better against these. Belltown Lake was well supported at Kildorrery and will improve for that success while Henry De Bromhead's pair, Kinsale winner Marv Michael and Borris House runner-up Doonbeg Don, are also likely to make significant progress. WHAT'S UP DARLING made most for a very impressive success at Quakerstown and Gordon Elliott's charge looks the one to be on.
