This shouldn't take much winning so Willie Mullins' newcomer PONT DE ALMA, whose dam has produced two very useful winners with her first foals to race, can make a successful debut. Gold Rosette is a half-sister to three winning point-to-pointers so likely to find some of these too sharp but Bellastar is out of a winning miler and should have enough pace to get involved. Walkers Point has run well against decent opposition in both starts to date and looks best of those with experience.
