An excellent turnout with all bar Glens Lullaby having won and she's run really well in both starts. Harry Swan was on board when Jalon D'oudairies won easily at Fairyhouse but sticks with The Enabler, who made most for a convincing success at Punchestown. Springt De La Mare beat subsequent easy winner My Trump Card over this course and distance but the form pick has to be REDEMPTION DAY. A debut winner at Leopardstown two years ago, he gave brilliant stablemate Facile Vega a race in the championship bumper at Punchestown last year and though unraced subsequently the lack of an outing is hardly a problem for one from his yard.
