Noel Meade and Nina Carberry won this in 2007 with Sky Hall and Kid Curry, who looked just in need of the run on his return at Navan last month, is certain to come in for support and should get competitive. Kildare Blowin ran two promising races at Leopardstown earlier this year and is one to keep on the right side along with Sparkling Tara, who was beaten only a total of three lengths in her three starts last year in huge fields. WHITE STAR LINE makes his debut in a bumper after two very promising efforts over timber at Punchestown, the latest when a close second to First Lieutenant in what looked a very strong maiden. He travelled well throughout on that occasion which suggests he will have the Flat pace for this.
