Winning point-to-pointer and bumper THATSY is certain to prove popular after an encouraging first run over hurdles here earlier this month when chasing home Battle Of Midway. The remainder were well beaten and that form could turn out to be smart. Davy's Dilemma, four times a winner on the Flat for Michael Dods, looks a cracking recruit for Noel Meade while Newlands, who had some smart form on the Flat in Singapore, is an interesting recruit for Edward O'Grady. Latest Exhibition easily won a Naas bumper in January and Paul Nolan will have him ready.
