Not much to go on here but Tactical Move was purchased for €100,000 after finishing second at Monksgrange a year ago and has joined Willie Mullins. Silver Sheen beat better-fancied rivals at Ballyvodock in February and his stable remain in good form but ARD ABHAINN went for £80,000 after scoring at Lingstown in March and may be good enough. Extreme Cacao will have the assistance of Derek O'Connor so has to be of interest while the filly Belper Rose is a full sister to a winner on the Flat so should have more basic pace than most of these.
