Cadmium put a moderate effort at Thurles behind him to land a Grade B handicap at Punchestown where he was always travelling well. He's facing some promising types here but it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish. Light That ran a fine race over hurdles at the Punchestown festival then reverted to fences there and beat an odds-on chance so he's another progressive type. LE MARTALIN had come up against strong opposition in his first starts over fences but looked on the upgrade when slamming subsequent easy winner Hardback at Killarney so Noel Meade's charge looks the one to be on. Twobeelucky won three times over hurdles last year and makes his chasing debut after a run over timber at Killarney last month.
