Kemboy fell at the first in the Irish National but made amends with a superb effort to land a Limerick Grade 3 where he was always travelling nicely. There's still more to come from Willie Mullins' charge and he looks certain to be thereabouts, despite a huge weight. The stable have plenty of other chances including with Koshari and Up For Review, who carry the same weight. The former defied mistakes to win easily at Clonmel while the latter ran well for a long way in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse won by Al Boum Photo. Jessica Harrington has a tremendous record in the race and A Sizing Network looks best of her entries as he found 3m4f too far at Cork after an impressive victory over a slightly longer trip than this on this track. De Plotting Shed has become disappointing while his stable companion SQUOUATEUR has never won over fences, though it could be the latter's turn today. He ran a cracker when third in the Kim Muir before being brought down in the Irish National and it's about time he was getting off the mark. Bel Ami De Sivola gained his first success over fences at Fairyhouse and should be even better suited by the longer trip so he's on the short-list.
