Bearly Legal, a winning point-to-pointer, ran very well over the minimum trip here earlier this month and looks sure to get involved over this distance. Hello Louie was having only his third start over timber when a very close third to Ballyhoura at Wexford but has a little to find with runner-up Uponthe Hoof, who was caught in the shadow of the post. Roadtoabbeyfeale has improved with every run and finished a close second to Crocus Bay over the trip at Clonmel but PEKING TO PARIS is potentially better than any of them and can make a winning start over timber after landing a Gowran bumper in fine style.
