Clonmel bumper winner Diamboy Des Carres led for a long way before fading on his hurdling bow on testing ground at Limerick last month. ILE ATLANTIQUE landed a Leopardstown bumper before narrowly beaten in both subsequent starts. Closely related to several winners on his dam‘s side he is taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking. Down Royal bumper winner No Time To Wait contested the championship bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown while Raglan Road, who fell two out when in contention on his debut, could not land the odds over this track and trip in March but was not beaten far. Dual bumper winner Teuchters Glory has placed form over hurdles and should not be dismissed.
