Danielle's Journey won a bumper here in March before making a satisfactory hurdling debut at Sligo in May and is on the short-list along with Bel Ami De Sivola, who has shown signs of promise despite being well beaten in both starts. Conright Boy had shown real potential before heading for Clonmel in May where he started a short-priced favourite but was beaten a distance. He was unsuited by the quicker ground that day and these are his conditions. ONTOPOFTHEWORLD was beaten just a head over timber at Wexford in March and reverted to a bumper at Thurles for last month's comeback. With that under his belt he can take this for Arthur Moore.
