POKER D'AINAY started odds-on at Sligo and looked like winning when taking the lead 2f out but was caught on the line by Curramore, who was receiving 7lb. Willie Mullins' charge can go one better though Mister Fogpatches made a very promising start at Ballinrobe in May and will be a threat if ready after a break. Gavin Cromwell and Jamie Codd look a formidable partnership and Jeremys Flame did enough on her debut here last month to suggest she can get into the action while the newcomer Ghurba has a speedier pedigree than most and would enter the equation if the ground dries out.
