GAME PRESENT tested positive after making all over this trip at Downpatrick and was disqualified. He then made much of the running before fading in the closing stages when tackling an extra furlong at Tramore and this represents a good opportunity for compensation. Woodbroock Boy, a dual point-to-point winner, was beaten a neck on his chasing debut at Wexford but finished 23 lengths behind Le Hatchette back over hurdles at Ballinrobe, though the winner was receiving 16lb. Lessofdnegativity wasn't beaten far over 2m5f at Tramore and had earlier run well over 3m at Cork so this looks on the short side.
