This shouldn't take a great deal of winning. Dounikos started odds-on for his debut between the flags on the Punchestown point-to-point track and duly obliged, though he had to work hard. He went for 52,000 euros at the sales and should soon make his mark. Caniwillyegiveme has a more recent success to his credit having scored at Glenbane last month while Dubai Devils made a fair start under Rules in a Musselburgh bumper. Emily's Flame can get into the frame as he showed potential at Naas in January but a chance is taken with OSCAR LANTERN, who showed ability on his opening run in a Cork maiden hurdle and has his first start in a bumper.
