FIRE SQUADRON was well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal in February but showed the benefit with a fine effort in a similar race at Fairyhouse where he beat all bar the odds-on Full Time Score. Always in the front rank that day, connections must believe he has the pace to win a bumper. Game And Glory made her debut over the course and distance where she belied her 50/1 SP with a very promising effort, staying on when the race was all over. Patrick Mullins is an eye-catching booking and a big run is expected. Ultra Viers was beaten a long way into fifth in heavy ground at Thurles but may fare better on this going though a bigger threat may arrive in the shape of Drumbear, a half-brother to four winners and out of a Flat winner.
