Winning point-to-pointer Leish Oscar did well enough on his debut here last month, though may need a stiffer test, and Mount Colah will be very difficult to keep out of the frame after a couple of reasonable runs over timber. Spring Lane, a half-brother to Shinrock Paddy, is an interesting newcomer but a chance is taken with HI BIG MAN. Daniel Miley's charge made a tremendous debut at Punchestown when beaten a short-head by Reizovic with subsequent triple winner and Grade 1 hero Boston Bob back in third and there was obviously something amiss when he ran at Roscommon in May.
