Typhoon Flyer had poor form between the flags but did much better in a Listowel bumper in September and should make further progress. Iris Emery started favourite for her racecourse debut in a Gowran bumper in February but pulled up when she lost her action. Much better will be expected here but all eyes here will be on WINGMEN. He went for £250,000 after landing a point at Ballycrystal by 12 lengths and the runner-up has won subsequently.
