Felino De Bersy had Jack Hackett half-a-length behind when a close third over 2m2f at Downpatrick but the latter has much the better of the weights here. Fierami has shown very little but is likely to make progress given connections while Nero Rock would have to be considered on his close fourth at Thurles in March, though was pulled up on his only start over this trip. CHEAD SOLAS won a Punchestown bumper in November 2018 but has only had two subsequent starts. He's returning after a long break but that's no problem for one from his yard and he can start making up for lost time.
