The four-year-old DENHAM SOUND makes his handicap debut over timber after landing a Wexford maiden and starts out on a lowly mark. He can go in again though there are plenty of dangers including Immortal Bridge, who showed real battling qualities to get up close home at Downpatrick. Khalessi got off the mark in a maiden here in May and had been running well in handicaps previously while Knockraha King was demoted after finishing first past at Tipperary and has since found three miles just too far at Punchestown. Tristram Shandy just has the call over subsequent winner Naturally Blond on their 1-2 at Cork in May.
