Blue Templar has proved a useful sort for the Bolger team in cross-country contests and is not discounted off this mark returning to chasing, though is first reserve. In his possible absence, ISLAND MASTER rates a logical suggestion as he boasts a previous course and distance success and should remain competitive off a 5lb higher mark. Thatbeatsbanagher gives the impression we have yet to see the best of him and would be especially interesting if the money came and recent Wexford winner Mister Butler is another well worth a second look.
