All bar Michael's Pick ran between the flags last time, Cieran Murphy's charge having finished runner-up in a similar race to this at Thurles. Ask Charlie won on fast ground at Tyrella but only got as far as the first on a return visit. Faith Loving defied a last-fence error to score at Farmaclaffley after a decent effort in a hunter's race at Down Royal while Handy Headon won easily at Tyrella a couple of weeks ago. TAREESHAR looks to be progressive having won comfortably at Tyrella and may be good enough to gain his first success under Rules.
