Gunfire Reef won easily over fences at Tipperary on Sunday and was due to run off a much lower hurdles rating at Limerick last night so that result would have a major bearing on this race. Deauville Society has only been placed once in a dozen starts over timber but wasn't beaten far over 2m5f at Tramore and will relish every yard of this trip. Ringo Kid has a career strike-rate of 0-27 and has also been unplaced in three point-to-points while RULER OF DUBAI is also still a maiden. However, the latter has only had five starts and his close third behind the in-form Lord Lariat over this trip at Tipperary sets him up nicely for this. Celine Soprano was engaged in the 5.45 at Limerick yesterday.
