A huge field though few with realistic chances. As You Were, a half-brother to three winners on the Flat, has changed stables since making a very impressive debut in a heavy-ground bumper at Thurles in March and will be expected to start paying his way soon. He's in the 'could be anything' category though the same comment applies to BLOW BY BLOW. A brilliant bumper for Willie Mullins in the spring of last year, he was having his first subsequent run and making his debut over timber when a close third in what looked a very strong race over the minimum trip here last month and will have come on markedly for the run. Winning bumper Someday has shown plenty of potential in his two starts over timber and will be winning soon while Roseriver Has found 2m4f on heavy ground just beyond him at Wexford and looks certain to give a good account. Discorama, a close second in a Thurles bumper in March, is another to note.
