PAKMAN finished third in a tough handicap at the Punchestown Festival and should have no problems with the longer trip so gets the vote. Winning point-to-pointer Glencairn View is an obvious threat after chasing home Livelovelaugh at Ballinrobe and Jack Kennedy is likely to make this a stamina test but Robbina appeared to be suited by stepping up to three miles at Cork. Sizing Alberta, runner-up to Jetstream Jack at Clonmel in November, would be very difficult to beat on that form but he tried to run out on a return visit the following month and is best watched today. Slemish has a cracking pedigree for jumping and the dual point-to-point winner looks a very nice prospect for the future.
