TUSA EIRE looks the one to be on after a fine introduction at Naas where he was just touched off in a small field by Willie John. With a stronger pace almost guaranteed here he can go one better.

Keeptrading ran well for a long way behind Castle Wings on his Limerick debut and is another who will have come on for the run.
