Ballycamus landed a point-to-point in Ireland and has joined Nigel Twiston-Davies. Ballyglass also arrives from Ireland having produced three very good efforts in bumpers while Barnards Green made a very encouraging debut here last month where he didn't quite get the run of the race. Winning point-to-pointer GRAND KNIGHT couldn't quite peg back the winner at Warwick while Itso Fury showed plenty of potential in a Fairyhouse bumper in April. The former gets the nod though Pour Me Another started favourite for a bumper here last month and will have come on a bundle and Mochachocachino, from the in-form Skelton yard, is one to note.
