Verdict
Anything Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh team up for has to be respected and Regusci showed his first sign of form on his handicap debut at Leopardstown. Carpet Elegance got off the mark on his 17th career start at Down Royal while Profoundly made a very promising handicap debut behind American Flyer at Clonmel. MOUNTAIN LOUGH came out of hunter-chases to win a Killarney handicap over fences then gained his maiden success over timber over this course and distance. He's gone up 5lb but is still well treated and can take this. Foot Soldier has only had four runs over hurdles but started favourite at Kilbeggan last time. He collided with a rail and had no chance after so he's one to keep on the right side. Fantastic Strike has had very little racing in recent years but ran well at Wexford last month and looks ready to win soon.
