Charles Byrnes has his horses in top form and Green Glory, a comfortable winner of a Punchestown bumper in April, looks a nice hurdling prospect. Coconut Tudor looked a likely future winner when beaten a neck at Limerick but pulled much too hard when tackling three miles here next time. Downpatrick bumper winner Meetingofthewaters has shown some potential over timber and Ocean Of Mercy just failed to land a gamble on his hurdling bow at Bellewstown so supporters will be looking for compensation. Derrylinda was a close third in a huge field of maidens at Punchestown before find Grade 1 company too hot at Fairyhouse but this can go to BALLYBAWN BELTER, a winning bumper who looked as though this trip would suit when runner-up on her hurdling bow at Punchestown.
