As You Were couldn't cope in the Coral Cup but his earlier narrow defeats in strong maiden company would give him a real chance. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Castlebrook reverted to a bumper at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago and produced another very good run so he should get into the action while Macgiloney followed a promising run over hurdles at Fairyhouse with a bumper success at Kilbeggan and is on the upgrade. School Boy Hours was heavily supported at Cork earlier this month and was well in touch when falling so connections will be looking for compensation but this can go to EAMON HIGH, who gave supporters of the odds-on Deal D'estruval a fright at Tramore where the remainder were in another parish. Dylan Robinson's claim is a major bonus and Henry De Bromhead's charge can go one better.
