The presence of Patrick Mullins suggests Dowth Hall winner Clondaw Hollow is expected to run well but SANTANA PLESSIS would have to be the selection on his second at Punchestown in December. He didn't run up to that form at Navan in March but is much better than that. Watch Guard gets an age allowance and will have come on nicely for a promising run at Ballinrobe while Blue Heather makes a quick reappearance after easily her best run to date at Tipperary last week. Jessica's Boy has a nice pedigree for jumping and is one to note in the market.
