Very few of these are in any kind of form but RATHNALEEN KAL made a promising start over timber at Clonmel after a long break and can take this. Slane Hill was beaten a long way at Thurles but is the type to improve over this longer trip while The Flying Spur showed some potential last winter and found 2m4f just stretching his stamina at Navan. All For Rachel would have finished closer over the track and trip last time but for a mistake at the last while Be Fierce must have been showing something at home as he started favourite when beaten a long way at Limerick.
