Affordable Fury has joined Noel Meade since landing a Ballyhane point in March while both Sonny Fella and Spanish John will be better for recent runs. Better must have been expected of Wasthatok on his debut at Fairyhouse in April as he started favourite. He was impeded at a crucial stage and can make his presence felt though ALLIBABA has a Flat pedigree and should have more pace than most of these providing there's no more rain. Walkonthebriteside is a half-brother to the top-class Champ out of a half-sister to Best Mate so he's certainly one to keep an eye on.
