FALAK has improved with every start over timber and found only one too good at Down Royal last time. He’s preferred to stablemate and point-to-point runner-up Isle Of Destiny, who makes her debut under Rules. Robin Can Do finished a creditable third at Clonmel on his hurdling bow and should go well while All Good Things ran much better over these hurdles on his penultimate start than he did at Leopardstown last time. Mag Brady made a promising start when second at Tramore but has disappointed subsequently.
