Tipperary winner Take A Shot needs a couple to come out if he is to get his chance but would be a danger to all if making the starting line-up. Got Options went close on several occasions last season and should be far away while Son Of My Heart will be fancied to supplement his win in a Sligo maiden hurdle in due course. Steel Park, fourth off this mark at Ballinrobe last month, is another to consider along and Summersinerrill would have claims on his best form but REGAL AMBITION left his previous form well behind when a close-up fourth to Afram Blue at Down Royal last month. David Casey is in the saddle again today and Charlie Swan's five-year-old can open his account now.
