BUCK'S BILLIONAIRE started odds-on for his debut at Cork and looked to be travelling well until finding little at the business end. He'll have come on for the experience and can gain compensation. Russian Soldier has been looking very one-paced but Patriciadplasterer looked as though this sort of trip was required when a decent third at Tramore. Cornakill Rose ran poorly the last time in December and Gordon Elliott may have a better chance with the newcomer Steel Cap, the mount of Jamie Codd. Breffniboy is another first-timer to note as he's from a yard that can get one ready.
