The Tullow Tank ran twice over hurdles at the beginning of the year, including a decent effort in a Grade 2 here, before easily landing a Fairyhouse bumper in March. He can put his experience to good use but may find TURNANDGO too strong for him. An easy winner of his only point-to-point, he was beaten when a long odds-on chance for his bumper debut at Clonmel but gave supporters no cause for concern on his next two starts, both on heavy ground, and looks a fine prospect. Ballyroe Rambler is another with hurdling experience though his latest run was in a Wexford bumper but it's the once-raced Red Road who could provide more of a threat as he really caught the eye on his only start behind Upsie in a maiden over this track and trip in February. Winning bumper O Maonlai may do best of the remainder.
