Balnaslow has been making good progress between the flags and beat the useful Ted Veale at Loughnamore in October. Hinesight was brought down at Monksgrange after two very easy victories while Sraid Padraig won a maiden point at Dromahane in a canter and looks certain to go well. It's difficult to know exactly what TEELIN STAR has beaten in his two races but both have been won by a distance when starting long odds-on so he obviously has plenty of ability and he gets the nod. Torn Asunder was odds on when making a winning debut between the flags and there was something amiss when he pulled up in a Gowran bumper while the four-year-old Rogue Angel gained a very easy success on his debut at Askeaton in February.
