Blue Sari looked a likely future winner when narrowly beaten by subsequent Grade 1 runner-up Farouk D'alene at Navan but jumped poorly on his next start at Leopardstown. The winner's yard is represented by GRAND PARADIS, who put his jumping problems behind when dead-heating for second in a Gordon Elliott 1-2-3 at Fairyhouse. The latter may just have the edge here though Indiana Jones would have to enter the equation if getting round safely as he was narrowly beaten by the smart Busselton at Punchestown before coming to grief in subsequent starts. Feelgood Island looks best of the remainder but may have to settle for a place.
