Enda Bolger won the first running of this last year so Keep On Track can go well after a fair run behind Hi Vic here last month. Bendala Bleu has had a bit of a chequered career so far but has found his feet lately with two victories between the flags. Johnies Star doesn't appear very often but when he does he's worth noting though his victory at Punchestown in April came on very testing ground. MA CHARA has never won under Rules despite 20 starts but ran twice over the banks fences at the Punchestown Festival in April and did very well. He won't mind the going and is handed the vote though Maple Valley Gale arrives in tremendous form and her allowance will be a help. Schindlers Rock is usually thereabouts but very rarely wins.
