Arctic Light made a successful debut at Punchestown but couldn't handle Samcro in a much better race back there last month. Burren Life went for £135,000 at the sales after an unlucky fall between the flags at Belharbour and though beaten by Come To Me on his bumper debut at Punchestown earlier this month the winner looks very useful so Gordon Elliott's charge will make a bold bid to go one better. Line Out finished behind in that latter event but ran well for a long way and should get closer. QUICK GRABIM made the long odds-on chance Monbeg Worldwide work hard to retain his unbeaten record at Cork last month when the remainder were well beaten. Robbie McNamara's should have made good progress and looks the one to beat.
