Kick For Touch was well supported to make a winning debut at Thurles in February and though beaten by Cash And Go he ran very well and should be up to going one better soon. ANNUS MAXIMUS also attracted support on his debut at Leopardstown in January and though put in his place by the well-regarded Waaheb he gave notice that there's better to come and can take this. There are several well-connected newcomers entered including Johannisberger, a half-brother to 6f winner Gentleman Duke, Sarsfield's Ride, who is out of a winning bumper and hurdler, and Miss Nomer, who is a half-sister to a winning hurdler and out of a mare from a top family.
