A huge field of bumpers but not too many to get interested in so Willie Mullins' newcomer BECOME LEGEND may prove good enough as she's a half-sister to several winning jumpers. Broken Soul's two placed efforts in December were on heavy going and he started odds-on at Cork in March but was very disappointing. He was well beaten on his only start on good ground though that was a much better race than this. Antimatter ran a bit better on quick ground at Tramore and Carlitos Bay has improved with each run though he's had plenty of chances. Fenlon's Hill may do best of the remainder.
