Several of these with chances on form including Laytown winner Confident Kid, the consistent-but-luckless Gopsies Daughter, and course and distance winner Captain Power are drawn high which won't help their cause. Tie A Yellowribbon has never won but went very close over an extended 5f at Navan when just failing to catch Early Call. The veteran MY GOOD BROTHER had several of these behind at Bellewstown then just failed to concede 6lb to Tyrconnell on the beach at Laytown. He's running really well at present and, with Andrew Slattery back on board, can return to winning ways. Sestriere is still a maiden but was placed for the first time in a big field at Cork at the beginning of the month.
