Jack The Wire is going well over fences and there was plenty to like about his run behind Miss Eyecatcher at Tipperary though he's 3lb out of the handicap. Ballyoisin has had his jumping problems but has some very smart form when getting round safely though his owner also has NEARLY NAMA'D (NAP) engaged and Barry Geraghty rides. He won some tough races for the Hughes' family and will have come on a bundle for his reappearance in a similar class race to this at Killarney. Hurricane Ben looked a smart novice in the spring though has a long absence to overcome but Ruby Walsh has ridden Three Stars just once, when landing a Grade 3 at Punchestown a year ago.
