Tony Martin is triple-handed here and jockey bookings suggest Gift Of Dgab, who made a very promising start to his career at Fairyhouse in April, should be the stable first string. Monastrell looked a bright prospect when runner-up in a huge field at Naas in February but hasn't been seen since finishing tailed off when strongly fancied on his subsequent start at Navan. He can do much better and should go well along with Falcon Island, another who owes his supporters after a couple of short-priced defeats at the turn of the year. Ruby Walsh has been booked for BAILY GREEN and that can prove significant as the four-year-old was amateur-ridden when a very good third behind House Rules on his racecourse debut in a bumper at Gowran last month. Hired Hand is another to consider in an open event.
