FIRST APPROACH won a Dromahane point in April and looked a certain future winner when chasing home The Gunner Murphy at Galway. He should be spot-on for this and can see off Rapid Escape, another winner between the flags and a close fifth in a very strong Punchestown bumper in April. Not Many Left makes his debut under Rules after landing a point at Largy in April after which he cost 150,000 euros so he's one to watch while Peace Party has shown enough in his two starts to suggest he can get competitive.
