Merlin Giant won a Ballinrobe bumper and may find a couple of these too quick unless the ground turns very testing. Anner Castle has been staying on without looking likely to get there but Lusaka led into the final furlong over the trip at Tramore, though had no answer when the winner went past. Scrum Half made most over the distance at Bellewstown when conceding the winner 8lb while Tignanello was returning from a long break when staying on over 1m2f at the Curragh. The latter's stable companion Flora was heavily supported at Listowel and led for a long way but, in a wide-open maiden, the vote goes to SIX FEET APART, who defied a poor draw to finish an excellent third behind a stablemate at Punchestown.
