Ruby Walsh can get on the winner's rostrum via CLONARD LAD, a bumper winner at Tramore in April who made a very promising hurdling debut behind Universal Truth in what looked a strong novices' event at The Festival here. Dark Prospect joined Noel Meade from the UK and made an instant impact with two victories on the Polytrack at Dundalk in the spring. He was having just his second start over timber when a good third to Clonsilla Fath at Ballinrobe recently and that should have put him spot-on. Riverstown was a major disappointment when strongly fancied over 2m4f at Killarney last time but that can't have been his true form as he had looked very promising on his previous start at Gowran Park. Henro Boy had no problems beating Smokey Joe Joe in a Downpatrick bumper last time and the form has been boosted by the runner-up.
