SILAS MARNER is the only one of these with experience under Rules having been placed at Leopardstown and in a Listed contest at Limerick in March. Jamie Codd rides and it will take a good performance to prevent the combination taking this. Gris Majeur was the only finisher in a Fairyhouse point-to-point last month while Stuart Crawford has two entries with Ballycoose, whose dam is from the family of Champion Hurdlers Morley Street and Granville Again, likely to prove best. Tallon is interesting as he has a mainly Flat-based pedigree so should have more pace than most while Philip Rothwell had a superb Punchestown so Cato's Revenge is one to keep an eye on.
