Belmount won a bumper at Towcester in April and was then fourth here the following month. Letbeso is tried in a visor after his fourth at Chepstow. He'll be in the frame if the headgear has the desired effect but Crown Control might need this and Call The Detective probably didn't beat much in a Dromahane point-to-point in the spring. ROCK GONE (NAP) has his first run for a new yard but wouldn't need to improve much on his second at Cork in May to open his account.
