KAVANAGHS CORNER (NAP) won a couple of races in the UK and has joined Henry De Bromhead. He was having only his second start for the yard when landing a Clonmel handicap last month and is probably still well handicapped despite an 8lb rise. Thisonesforollie was in the lead when falling two out at Thurles and connections will be looking for compensation while Barna Venture was in good form last winter but his recent form leaves plenty to be desired as does that of Never Off Duty, a winning point-to-pointer and hurdler who has been beaten a long way in all three starts over fences.
