Winning point-to-pointer BALLYADAM APPROACH produced his best run to date over timber when just touched off by E Mac at Kilbeggan and a repeat performance should be good enough see him home. Giant's Quest has won a bumper and scored on the Flat and though a little disappointing so far over timber there should be more to come. Hansupfordetroit is another likely to do better and Sir Harry Cash has been running well enough in maidens and handicaps to be given a chance. Sliabh Glath has shown enough ability to make his presence felt in what looks an open contest.
