A huge field on likely testing ground but probably not too many to be interested in. Henry De Bromhead won the race last year and Arvico Bleu looks the type who will be winning soon judged on an encouraging debut over timber at Navan. ART OF SECURITY, a winning bumper in testing conditions, didn't show much in his first starts over timber on quicker going but did much better on soft ground at Leopardstown last month and looks ready to gain his first success over obstacles. Turbojet has some smart form against decent rivals and it will be a surprise if he isn't involved in the finish while Mossback won a Limerick bumper on very heavy going in April and has joined Gordon Elliott so further rain would aid his cause.
